    rodo burl HF

    Here are a few pictures of the Rodo burl HF finished. It still has a few soft spots even with CA glue and wood hardner. It is 8" dia. by 4 3/4" high. The hole in the 2nd picture had dirt in it so I left it as is. The guy had tried to burn this burl and I think that must have made it dark for Rodo. The first picture show the side that was so far gone that I had to stablize it with a lot of CA and TLC.
