Red Oak Burl

[Gary Max]

This is some super nice wood--Red Oak Burl--lots of figure & swirls. I cut this from the burl --- I cut several bowl blanks---heck I even made a table top out of it. Remember the Monster burl I posted a couple months ago--this is a part of it.
Kit is a Sadona-----better pics than yesterday.

Wow! Got any pics of the table top too?

 

[Dario]

Good job and the wood really got me [].

 

[Gary Max]

I knew someone would ask.
If I can remember I will do that tommorrow. It is one of my highest priced show items that I have ever built.

Gary,

Sorry to hear you can still do it. That means the piece is "unsold".[V][V][V][][][]

Ed the table has only been built for two weeks ---it did go to the last show----- got petted a bunch. No more shows for the table---when you see the pic you will understand it's a monster to move and my back ain't getting any younger.

Big things can have nice posters made with pictures!! (About $5 at the local quick printer). Beats the heck out of lifting!!

Also, makes it appear more valuable - if you won't move it, you obviously want to protect it!! (IMO)

Looking forward to seeing it!![][][]

Gary,
I like the wood on this pen... not sure I like the kit all that much... but the wood is spectacular.

 

[kent4Him]

Very Nice.

Great pen! Can't wait to see a pic of the table.

Does anyone know who could handle a printing job like this?

That's what you call 'Pen Blank Security'.

That pen is nicely executed, interesting Oak burl. Personally, the new kit doesn't do it for me, I like the Baron better - but this is just my opinion!!

 

[mick]

Wow! Gary ..that's one more sweet piece of wood!!! I've been on the fence about the Sedona but this pen sways me toward favorable! The only thing I can't decide on is the round top. Whatever my opinion of the kit is ......the pen itself is beautiful!!!

 

[johncrane]

G'Day Gary that pen sure looks sweat mate!love that timber mate! also what do you think of that kit is it easy to make.

 

[clement]

Nice work Gary, it must be a very big burl. Was it difficult to turn [?]

[Gary Max]

The kit builds just like a Baron-----There pro's and con's to both kits. The one I that will tell the story will be at my next show in two weeks.
Lets see how they sell-------sorry it comes down to the bottom line around here-----they will be side by side with the barons but will cost 10% more.

 

[Ligget]

Great work, that is a beautiful piece of wood![]

 

[Sidro55]

WOW that is by far the best looking Red Oak burl I have ever seen. Super nice job.
