[brown down]

i forgot again to post what kind of wood this is :dash2::dash2:
:lolol: they are all cherry burl except the one that is really red thats the red maple burl.

do you have any burl mike to trade mike?

i will sell it if you like
it is green, harvested about 3 weeks ago

 

[Mike1950]

No burl to sell- You wait and see if you can trade for what you want- If not come back to me.

 

[brown down]

Nope it's yours how's 10$ plus shipping

 

[Mike1950]

Works for me- Give me a total and PM where to pay- Pay pal work? Thanks Mike

 

[LoneStar]

How much for everything thats left ?

 

[LoneStar]

So, I know Im new here,, but is this stuff for Trade or Sale???

Good point ! I am willing to trade, but I still need a $ value to find an equal trade.
That is one thing you can always change here burlguy72. You can sell something thats posted in barter, or trade something posted in for sale.
Say I offered to buy them first, but you offered to trade for them first. He could skip my offer for $ and take your offer for trade.
Or if I offered Texas Ebony for trade first, and you offered BAB for trade. He could skip my offer if he would rather have the BAB.
As long as he rejects my offer openly in the post, and seals the deal with you openly.
Thats my understanding of the rules anyway. I dont think anyone here wants rules just to have rules, its really just guidelines so every deal is kept as fair as possible and in the open

 

[brown down]

For what's left 50$. But I only threw out a few smaller teasers. I have up to 13 x13x 6 I believe I will check when I get home I am in the mountains I have 15 on the ground now
If you have other burl that I may be interested in that would be great I am easy going

 

[Mike1950]

13x13x6-let me know when you come back have fun. m

 

[Dan.S.314]

Nice looking stuff. Can't offer anything though, I'm trying to ban myself from getting any more stock until I turn the wood I have and keep it from checking.

so today was productive and should have a lot to trade or sell.

i don't even know how many cherry burls i grabbed today, all i know is my truck was driving like a boat going down the road.

the last burl should have been the first one i dropped this morning. i didn't realize how big it was until it hit the ground
it was well over 300 lbs :lolol: and i was on my last chain lol
i had to chunk that big sucker right in the woods.

this one also grew on swampy area. i am wondering if the way the grain pattern and color have anything to do with that. really no eye, as the last one didn't have either.
i opened her up, and this is what she looked like.
I was doing a little bit of a dance in the woods

mike, i will have pictures of that big chunk tomorrow. i should have 2 or three, around about that size. i will post pics of all three.

 

[Mike1950]

Thanks Jeff. I am in no hurry. Nice wood.

what do you have in stock?????? i WANT TO TRADE, I am willing to sell!!

do you have any gnarly grain patterned stuff:wacko1:

 

[LoneStar]

For what's left 50$.

Sweet, I'll take it ! I dont have much for trade. I have some Texas Ebony and a chunk of Walnut burl. I;d have to dig them out for pics/details. If you would rather do $ just send me your payment details.

I've got some really gnarly FBEB that would work best for some ornaments or a neat pen. Tried a bowl and the rotten center kind of messed it up :dunno:. Anyway I have a small branch of the stuff if interested.

This is that messed up bowl:

Great wood though:

[brown down]

that is some pretty wood, but i am not sure, even with my vacume chamber, that i can work with that?
what is the over all dimensions?
how deep are those voids. i can do some inlay work but don't want to take away from the overall beauty of the timber!!!

Mike, my father kinda put his claim on the largest bowl blank. he is the man he gets first dibs on anything i harvest

but i do have one thats close to that size and i have around 20 to cut up, so no worries if you don't want this one!!!


here it is
10 x 13 1/2 x 5 1 /2
like i said i have more to saw
may or may not get this size but you can hold off and wait if you want, i won't let go of the piece until you decide!
it has some bark left on the outside. i didn't want to keep trimming it knowing i would turn it anyhow.

[Mike1950]

Jeff, No hurry. I will be cutting it into inlay material or- it will not be turned. I will wait if you can sell or trade it- do so. I am not in need of any wood. You have nice stuff .

 

[brown down]

here are some more chunks o burl
the two are cherry
the other two that you can't really see the grain, is maple burl and it is hands down the prettiest i have ever seen. the color in this is one of a kind. the sapwood of this is all curly maple and the heart is red/black/green/brown/white.

here they are. looking for something equal to these beauties!
i posted a pic of a piece of the maple burl so you get an idea as to what i am talking about!



this is just a piece that i fresh sawed
