Hi Turners -
In question is this spruce burl. Approx. 15" wide and tall x 10" deep. If it is not turning worthy should I at least peel it and carve it out? How does one go about drying off such a thing. Should I cut it off before spring? The tree will be coming down in my next batch of clearing work so this one is either headed to a work bench or to the brush fire. Seems a shame to destroy it but will I do that anyway just trying to save it? Any comments appreciated.
