Hey Gary, I'll take a slab of that Mesquite Burl. It should make for some nice pens or whatever else you want to turn. I've never tried to resaw burl wood of any kind simply because I probably wouldn't know where to get the best out of the burl.

Rolph that's one of the chances you take with a burl----no one knows what's inside.
I figure about 30% of the burl is lost just cutting it up between sawdust and scrap.

My pond isn't very big. Would cost you very little to send to me.

I do mine a bit different and it sometimes leads to un uniform blanks (expecially after drying) thanks for the insight!

Too funny. Every time my wife catches me on this site, she calls it "pen porn" Great Burl! Wish I had a few extra pennies.

Manny this burl came from Dario's when he made the move and sold a bunch of he burl stock. It was trucked to Ky last year and has been sitting in my shop since.
I will not be offering any of this Burl for sale here at IAP----I am not going to become a target for hateful post by one of the other members who thinks they are running this site.
