John, I know nothing about butternut burls but these all seem to me much more like crotch pieces.

John,

Check your labels again. The colors seem off for 'Butternut' and many of its hybrids. Does look good for 'Black locust'...

I was going to say same thing. But I have never seen any Butternut burl so what do I know??

 

[Arn213]

The color is off for butternut. Agree, that it could be black locust, but possibility of it being Mulberry as well.

It was a burl, here’s my keeper pieces. Above and the thread cutoffs is the rest of it.






Here’s smaller 6” keepers.



Here’s a few that were cut from a smaller sister when I first got them.

Still learning about the woods of the northeast myself. Got this wood a few yrs ago from Wolfgang’s Wood, a small mill in Stafford NH that has been supplying specialty wood to members of the Guild of NH Woodworkers for many years. Wolfgang is in his 80’s and is a friend and mentor for many of us. He says its butternut, I pay him and say thank you.

Here it is finished.

Definitely not butternut

Probably mulberry
