Free to me that is lol. I was helping a friend clean his wood shop today. Calvin is 89 years young and, a real crackerjack. I was admiring a smooth bark[attachment=24381][attachment=24382][attachment=24384][attachment=24385][attachment=24386][attachment=24387][attachment=24388][attachment=24389][attachment=24390] hickory burl plate he had turned. He is also the guy showing me how to turn. He said I have some of it that you can have. It was not large enough for his plates. We went to his wood storage building"Awesome" I tried to get him to let me sell some of wood he was hoarding!!!.The guys that grew up in the depression have a hard time letting anything go. After I saw what he was" giving me" I said no Calvin, I'm not taking that. I'll sell it for you and keep some for myself. This is dry, I hosed the dust off of it. The slabs are 1 3/4 thick, up to 16 iches wide and 48 inches long. Fantastic burl, They just slabbed it out. Most of it has a slight curvature to the slabs, cupping, not bad though. He then said well take this, It's some sort of pine or evergreen burl, that he brought back from Alaska 40 years ago. So some info would be great as to how burl is priced? not BF I is it? SQ inch maybe?And how to cut the pine burl? thanks. A pic of me and my 13 year old grandson with our gifts.
Mean, just simply mean. You put up free burl and you gloat about your conquest? Just simple mean...
