Hey, what kind of information can you guys give me about katalox burl?
Dad brought home quite a bit the other day, but I know nothing about it, I've never turned it.
The burl is green, the blank I tried drying in the wicrowave warped like crazy. Also, I noticed that katalox wood looks like a mix of granadillo and purpleheart, but only the center of my burl is that color, which leaves me with over 150 pounds of white katalox burl. Is that sapwood? do the heart and sap have the same characteristics?
I cut some amazing looking slabs, but I'm afraid to do anything with them!
