Darrell's chittum burl
Member
Looking forward to sharing information on pen making . A good friend of mine and long time member of the IAP informed me we may have a mutual interest in a particular wood, that being Chittum Burl. I have been collecting it since the late1960's. In addition to turning it I also carve spoons, kuksas, and bowls from Chittum Burl. To me it is if not the most beautiful wood there is it certainly ranks with the top two or three. To those of you who are familiar with the wood I would love to hear of your experiences, opinions, and see some of your creations using chittum burl. Here's to happy turning. Thanks, Darrell Albert
