Wood Gloat!!!

[truckerdave]

A friend from California mailed this to me! It weighs about 11 lbs. It is about the size of a basketball. Ugliest burl I have seen in real life!

I can hardly wait to see what I turn it into!!!

From California? Ohhh.. Didn't you hear? Some of their wood is infested with dodohead beatles.. It needs to be dealt with right away!
You should head right to the shop, pack it up, send it to me and I will take care of it. I will even let you pay postage :biggrin:

Wow! I can't wait to see inside that burl.

Thanks for sharing the story, lets it it open, please...!

Cheers

Now I need to get one of three things,
A. A bigger band saw (my little Harbor Freight 14" paperweight is too small!)
B. A bigger lathe (I don't think my Mini-Jet is gonna turn this monster!)
or
C. A friend in Rochester, NY with either A. or B.

Send it to Minnesota........I will get Paul Bunyan to cut it for you and will send back the best parts.

LOL

Great piece and Good Luck with it.
