Another Brain Burl beachwood

[Byron Barker]

Here’s another brain-looking burl from the beach. I am only passingly thinking this is Taiwan Phoebe. I really have no other guesses. The wood is slightly yellow-golden with some streaks of red and spalting. Lots of color and figure going on! On the base, there was a small patch of punky wood I mostly worked out and sealed with CA glue. There is one large crack as shown in the pictures that seems to run into about 1/8 of the burl along the sides. A few small pin holes, but no activity from bugs present. Size is basically 18x20x22cm. I’d like 30$ plus shipping for this one. Sealed with polyurethane in pics.

I love how Byron gets these gorgeous pieces of wood washing up on shore, but when I'm at the Jersey shore all i see in the ocean is dead fish and McDonald's fry containers

Just to rub some salt in the wound, I literally just found this bad boy this afternoon beneath the cliff face I posted before. I don’t know how it is coming with me this Saturday…but IT’S COMING WITH ME THIS SATURDAY, DANG IT!!

It's a Chupacabra!

What's this Saturday?

It’s going to take me all day to move the thing no matter how I move it, so I’m going to have to move it on Saturday when I have that much free time.

We have the mountains in Austria but I do miss the ocean. I miss the breeze and the long wide view.

Just out of curiosity, these logs and burls have obviously been immersed in the ocean for some period of time and sat on the beach, rolled around in the surf. What effect does that have on the stability or workability of the wood? Do you think it makes it better or worse, or no noticeable effect at all? I guess unlike logs that have been buried in bogs or river mud for many many years and as a result absorbed minerals, these pieces Byron is finding haven't been that long exposed.
