FS osage orange burl

Despite having enough turning stock to last more than my lifetime, I continue to harvest. I made an incredible find last weekend. This was the oldest osage I have ever seen, must have been 32" in diameter at the base. But the great news, this thing is covered with burl from top to bottom. So far I have taken off about 500 lbs and am still cutting. Sizes range from baseball size (Christmas ornament size) to a slab I took off tonight that is

16" wide by 32" long and 12"thick at the burl cap. I live in central Illinois and will be selling some of this for $4 a pound. I'll try to get some photos in the next couple of days if you are interested. I have to do a demo at Woodcraft Saturday and have to get ready for that as well. And there is more burl to harvest!!!!! So little time.......

I'd love to see some pictures. I have turned a LOT of Osage, but have never seen it burled. I might like to try some, once I see what burls are like.

====================================================== Hey Dick:

Would you possibly bring some to the demonstration? I've got to do a Pen Turning Demonstration down at the riverfront in the morning, but will stop by Woodcraft when I'm done there. I'd like to see some of what you have.

Thanks, Bruce
