Oh my! How about any elm burl that has that contrasting whitish/yellow with burl design. So any elm that has that eye popping appeal. Some of those you mentioned I don’t think I’ve ever seen.

Well, you can at least see samples of all of them on my web site.

@phinds , thankfully you're not a studio exec, otherwise none of us would have seen Nightmare on Elm Street because you'd still be casting the scariest elm.

Nah. Easy and quick. That would be the Wyche elm. The name alone would look great in the credits.

Brian - this is what I have. Slippery Elm Burl bowl blank. Most of the burl and gnarly wood is in the bottom of the blank which should show decent once the bowl is done. Top half not too burly.
Looks like a good chance the end grain cracks will mostly turn away depending on the shape you choose. Hard to tell what’s hiding inside until it gets opened up.

I suppose because it’s not the best bowl blank I would let it go for $30 plus shipping. Measures 7.5” square x 4.25” thick. Thanks, John

I’ll take it!

 

[JD1137]

I’ll take it!

Okay- I’ll get back to you with a price with shipping. Thank you.

This one's in the mail too. Thanks
