I had a friend come by yesterday and he helped me cut the burl up. Here are some picture's of what we got. I got 4 large blanks to be cored in the 16 to 18 inch range and two more tall vase HF blanks that will make HF's in the 12" high range and a ton of small blanks for small bowls. I am going to have a lot of blanks for calls as well. The burl went almost all the way to the center of the tree. I hope to core out a couple of sets this week to start drying.

Here is a picture of the two small blanks just from cutting the end of the tree off so we could roll it over.
Here is a picture of the burl standing up right with the first large burl lobe cut out . We wher careful not to cut into the rest of the burl to save as much of it as possible.
Here is a picture of the blanks spread out over the trailer and my son sealing them with sealer. My friend Sam is in the back ground and we had already loaded 3 or 4 nice chunks of the burl in his truck when this picture was taken.
Here is a close up of what this burl looks like inside.
