Here is a piece that I have been playing with for a few days, I had to get creative to keep it all together but so far so good! It is half of a nice burl from a sugar maple. It was kind of hollow and had little burls growing in th center when I cut it in half. The other half is more solid so it will be easier to work with. Anyway it is just under 18" in dia and a little over 8" high, I plan on removing the waste block and doing some hand work on the bottom,not sure what yet but it will come to me. It has lots of nice color and bark with some figured areas here and there. Lots of fun to turn but nerve racking too! I was waiting for a chunk to fly off at any moment, but it held on! What do you think so far?
