Yellow Box Burl

[Gary Max]

It's been months since I started this.
The Burl is from my friend Nolan---thanks for all the trouble you went to shipping this monster.
It is Yellow Box Burl----This will be a center piece at our next Art show.
The dollar bill gives you some ideal just how big this is.
Finish is a nice Danish Oil that has been buffed out.

Nice bowl Gary. Nice burl and great workmanship.

Tom you should of been here when I inverted it on a Vac chuck to turn the base---You want to talk about fun.

Very nice Gary!! I still think the Australian box burls (YELLOW, GREY, RED) are some of the most overlooked burls to come out of AU. As your bowl shows they have some really nice figure and color. BTW dont drop that on your foot as it will definatly hurt (you not the bowl)

That is a nice looking bowl. You did a great job on it...refined yet rustic.

 

[Gary Max]

Thanks everyone-----Nolan we got enough folks hopping around the way it is.

That is a nice bowl.[^] You have brought out the characteristics very well.
Just a note on Yellow Box (Eucalyptus Meliodara): it is one of our most sort after trees for the apiary industry as it produces prolific quantities of high quality honey and the bees are very calm when working it. It is also much sort after as firewood becuase it burns weel with a hot flame.

WOW! That is Huge! [:0]

Unique and nicely done.

 

[Gary Max]

Dario you should of seem the box Nolan made for shipping---I bet he used a full roll of duck tape.[8D]

Nolan is just plain tape happy. Everytime we get blanks from him, it takes just about as long to get the tape off as it does for the post office to deliver.[:0]

But you know what....It's woth it!

LOL tape is cheap........ I lost part of an order of blanks once as the PO tore the package. I told my self no more as I cant always just go pick a few more to send out[}] Well when I get back at it I will offer that line of blank too. I need a catchy name like econo line

Great job, very nice looking. I like the box burls too, but then again I like a lot of wood that Australia has.[] Aloha.
