Hey guys,

Afzelia burl is my favorite wood by far, I got an obsession for that wood. To date this piece is the most awesome I had the chance to grab. Heck, I might as well keep it that way for a while! It's on my desk, the colors are just insane.

Dimensions are 2 7/8" x 2 7/8" x 11 1/4" and click the thumbnail. :)

I do the same thing. I find a spectacular piece of material and then...just admire it. My wife isnt sure if I'm a turner or a collector. lol. Me either.
 
I think your best option is to trim off a 3/4" slab from one side and send it to me!:biggrin:

If you need a place to hide that magnificent piece of creation, I'll gladly offer my shop as a resting place for it.:wink::rolleyes: See with both of us with the same name, no one would ever suspect the transfer.:):biggrin:

Charles, you sure do manage to accumulate some outstanding pieces of timber. this of course is no exception, I have a fair bit of Afzelia Burl, but I haven't seen any with the mineral streaking or what ever caused the color, It is a fantastic piece of wood, I'd just be contented to look at it for a good long while..

I turned a similar piece a while ago! I will look at that piece for a long time! :)

Turned.


This is with sanded/turned to bushing using 600 grit sandpaper and fine layers of CA.


And finished! :)
