I picked this burl up in GA at the end of last summer. It is a layered burl. I rough turned one bowl from it last Oct. and did the denatured alcohol soak. There were very few little cracks but right much distortion. It is an interesting looking wood but I am not a fan of oak.
If you are interested and live close enough to pick it up, e-mail me. I am not interested in handling this wood or chainsawing it again so you will need to bring a chainsaw. It is a very heavy wood.
I live 60 miles East of Richmond VA
