I don't turn anymore but I do keep my hands on the wood ! I make specialty fireplace mantel and coffee tables. I use Alligator Juniper burls for the base of my tables.

Do you sell the bases only? Chuck
Nice work. There's a place a couple north of me that does that with our juniper out here (I've not heard anyone call it alligator juniper so maybe different). They have a shed in which they remove all the bark - messy work.

Mine has bark that actually looks like an Alligator skin, the other Juniper we call Shaggybark Juniper, stringy dirty, hard on a chainsaw because the wind blows all the sand into the bark, dull a chain quick !

No sir I don't
yeah, that sounds like the juniper we have. Twisty, shaggy, cracks easily but springy, smells great when you cut and sand it.

It is a harder, denser wood than the Alligator and a much better firewood, the bark leaves a lot of ash but it burns much longer and hotter.
