Across the road from me is a small wooded area with a stream running through it. About in the center of the stand of trees is an oak with a large burl at the base. Every day I drove by and lusted after it. Normally I wouldn't say that but I think the folks here would understand.
Late spring it came down, victim of a strong wind and the hollow burl. I asked the land owner if I could cut it up and his response was "knock yourself out". Finally got to it this weekend and filled a pallet with future pen and bowl blanks.
But I just had to take a small piece and open it up to see what was inside. Now a bit more waiting while it dries. Finally, an excuse to invest in that stabilization gear.
