A little bit burlier

[Dale Lynch]

There was an ad on craigslist for free wood only a block away from my house.They had a 100 yr old cottonwood tree taken down,free for anyone that wanted some.I decided to check it out to see if I coud use a couple pieces.I got there and the thing must have been 3 feet across,nope too big for me.Then I spottted a burl,then another,then another ,then another,then another.He said take as much as you want so I spent an hour and a half digging around and this is what I took.I guess now I have no choice,I'm gonna have to get into casting.

CA_CHING !! I don't remember ever seeing a Cottenwood pen much less a Cottenwood Burl pen. Should be interesting what comes out of that wood. Jim S

Nice grab but you need to go back and get some crotches. Cottonwood crotch has some amazing figure.

Here ya go,I cut into one of the burls today.This is what's inside besides the horde of ants that came running out in terror of the bandsaw.

It is a good score.I'm gonna turn a bowl out of one to give back to the nice man for all the wood.

Thanks fellas.
