Our woodturning club had a tree removed from the front of the property. It was a soft maple with evidence of flat burls with numerous small trig like branches. I cored two pieces and have 7 thin bowls that I will microwave or will airbdry in a couple weeks. I use a McNaughton and am becoming fairly proficient in predicting the set up position for success. Here are some pictures of the results. Largest is 10” across x 7” deep.

Bob that is beautiful wood. I have tried my McNaughty on some burls with less than spectacular results.
Got them all done. A family of seven from two chunks of soft maple burl. Two coats of wipe on poly with the rim painted with a coat of black lacquer. Love that coring option.

Beautiful group. Nicely done
Thanks John. I’ll take coring burl wood any day. Much easier than cross grain.Quote:
