Well while I was in Big Bear Ca. this weekend with the LOML, I stopped at a tool shop to see what they had on sale since there seems to be a lot of wood workers up there. While there PENS came in to the conversation (as it always does) and the lady (owner / sales person) asked if I would have any use for some acrylics. She said that her and her husband (who is a woodworker) had some that they decided that they would never use. So I went over to their house after she closed, and as I was looking at the acrylics (mostly clear) I was talking to her husband he asked if I could use some "RED WOOD" Burl. I said sure what do you have, and he pointed to TWO large chunks laying next to a wood pile (for his fire place) and said that he hardly ever has a use for it. So we settled on $30 for the acrylics and this chunk of burl.:biggrin:
Now the BIG Problem!! My band saw is not big enough to cut it so I had to cut this piece with a hand saw. :rolleyes:
He even threw in some chunks of black walnut.:)

There's way too many crack in there for you to be able to use it. How about I come by and help you out so it doesn't take up so much space. Great score!
 
Max, if I send you $30, will you pick some of this up for me? Heck, I'll send you an extra $10 for your trouble. Great find!!
 
The first pieces are sliced up and heading in to the pressure pot with some Alumilite :) just as soon as I can find some AAA batteries for my scale :mad:

I am hoping it has less cracks after I trim it some, but the rest of it I'll mix with Alumilite. Found my batteries!
