I got a commission to make a piece with the wood and form of my choosing. Since I'm too cheap to buy a burl cap like this with my own money, I bought one with someone else's money!:biggrin:
This is red mallee burl finished with shellac, BLO, and ren wax. It's about 17.5 x 14 x 3 inches.
This wood is very hard and dusty, and it scrapes better than it cuts. If I didn't have my Woodchuck Bowl Pro, I'd still be hacking away at this thing.
Comments, criticism, and suggestions appreciated.
