dang .95 a pound sounds like a pretty good price to me, but I already have about 35 pounds in my garage.[][][]

I am getting this visual, tractor/trailer traveling from coast to coast, picking up burls from all parts of the country...moving them to the other coast and all points in between...kinda like a wood burl store on wheels..[][]

I was born and raised here in the Walnut Creek area, one thing we have out this way are walnut trees!

I have read that burl comes from the big knobby things on the tree trunk, above ground. I have heard them referred to as tumors.

I might be wrong, but this looks like stumps. This is not meant to be a critism, because I know that the most beautiful grain, used for high end gunstocks and furnature comes from the stump.

Could someone please enlighten me?

My thoughts on Burl----used more to describe the grain in wood.
You will find burl in everything from the root burl to the big tumors that grow on a tree.
Since woodworkers kinda speak our own language-- I think that the outstanding swirl in the grain is what we are talkin about.
This is a Red Oak Burl---yah it's mine

Huntersilver,
Do you know this guy? He has listed some really interested material on Woodweb. Nothing beats looking at the material before you buy. If I had someone that could look at these I might be interested in buying one. Let me know.
