Tomorrow I'm going to go see a local guy about buying some maple burls he has. They have not been cut up. Simply cut off the tree. Here are a few photos of some of what he has. He says some are hollow and some are not. He is going to leave it pretty much up to me to make an offer on them. He said he has a lot of them. How much would you pay for a maple burl the size of say a basketball? Or smaller ones about the size of a softball? I've never bought a whole burl before. Heck...I've only turned a couple of real nice burl blanks before.
I've read that some pay per pound. I've also read that some cut into a burl to only find plain looking wood......no burl. So...how much would be fair for a raw maple burl?
EDIT...not sure why that last image isn't showing up the same as the others.
