Reminds me of an AC/DC song.

I bet that would be a ball to work with...

If you get creative you could really go nuts with that burl...

Missing Pens

It will probably become a couple of pens at some point in the future. For now it is a real conversation piece.

Warren:

I did not bid on this one, I bought it out right.

Here are the dimensions for the burl:

Length: 4 1/2" (longest)
Width at top: 2 1/2"
Width at the Balls : 3 1/2"
Thickness ranges from 1 3/4" smallest up to 2 1/2" for the largest ball.
Moisture content is 13 to 15% so they have to dry out for quite a while before I can do anything with them.

So it is possible that I can get six to nine pen blanks if I cut it right.
