    Birch burl

    Saw this in a corner of a wood suppliers warehouse. and asked what it was
    BIRCH BURL cut with an Alaskan chainsaw mill. The 100 pound shephard is
    in the photo for size comparison. They are 4 and 5 inches thick. Is this a gloat?

    If they are now sitting at your house than yes it is a gloat!

    No, it's not thin enough yet.

    I think it depends how much you paid for them but no matter what, it's gorgeous stuff.
