I stopped at a fabric store the other day that had been in business for 35 years here in Pahrump NV. it was having a going out of business sale and was closing it doors as of January 1st. As I pulled in to the driveway I saw this huge burl that was attached to a dead mesquite tree. While I was in the store I asked about the burl and was told that the lady that lived behind the store did not want any of her trees cut. Over the next week I went to the store 4 0r 5 times (I told the wife about the sale:wink
and on the 31st (last day) I asked what the lady's name was because I wanted to talk to her. To my surprise 
it was the sales lady that had been helping me all week. So she went outside with me so I could show her what I wanted and after about 5 minutes of explaining to her what I would like to do with the burl she told me I could have it. :biggrin: It is 74" round and 42" long, OH HOW I WISH I HAD A BIG LATHE. I guess I will have to settle for making a bunch of small projects and Pen Blanks. For size comparison the chain saw is a 14" craftsman.
Thanks For Looking.
