Looking for a bowl blank 8 x 8 x 3 (or larger) and a spindle blank 1.5 x 1.5 x 18 (or larger). Split log or chunk would work - doesn’t need to be cut and milled into perfect blanks.

I have some burl.
I think 2" by whatever.
Maybe. Could be American. The eyes did not really open up like chinese/Liberian. Had American once before. It was same.
Siberean.
If my spellcheck is related to AI in anyway, WE ARE SCREWED!!!!!
Liberian seemed very odd, but you have such rare woods that I believed you really did have Liberian Chinese elm. I mean if anyone had that, it would be you.

No idea. I got it as burled slabs. I have had siberean and American elm burl. This is more like American but burl is not a viable way to ID so it is elm.
when i look up chinese elm, it has a distinctive bark,
the very few "chinese elm" burl pieces on the internet, clearly have a bark of some other elm species.

Elm burl, your guess as to which elm it is. Sure is pretty though.

Well, it took me awhile to see this, but your “wish is at my command” Chuck @Nature Man. The book-match comes with a self portrait of “Rocketman Racoon” lounging with his paws out. @Mike1950 - why do you hold out such pretty burly things from us? I want a slice of that sausage topping.
Thanks! Totally does it justice! I’m thinking the raccoon looks like a fox. And then there’s the boogeyman at the bottom! Chuck

You are right it also looks like a fox, but it probably will look like another furry animal for some people- perhaps it a hybrid of a “fox-coon-boogeyman”
