This was one of those awful-looking burls that was hiding some nice wood inside.

Does it look really big, or is it really BIG??

I think of 'juniper' and I think of a small limb looking sticking out of the ground a few feet....not awesome bowl, with a burl too!!!

(I really hate to tell you this, but....gasp....I'm afraid there is a HOLE in that bowl!!!)

Beautiful work! Someday I'll be able to do work like that...if I live long enough.

It is fairly big, about a foot in diameter. Our old alligator juniper trees grow for a couple of hundred years and can be up to 3-4 foot in diameter at the base.
