    Dogwood Burl

    This is a keepsake for a customer of mine.
    They are getting ready to move and wanted to take something with them. The story went something like ---I have been watching this burl grow for 20 years.
    It's the first Dogwood Burl I have ever seen.
    Thought you folks might enjoy a pic.

    Surely do enjoy that Gary. That is a good sized burl.

    She's soaking in Danish oil right now.
    It was cut Saturday so the wood is very wet because it's early spring.
    I am going to let her soak for about a week.
