Those are spectacular! Third one from top (mallee?) is my favorite. Tony

Setting aside the jealousy at you having so much handsome burl to work with ... these are drop-dead gorgeous. (And yes, the Red Mallee Burl is "first among equals"!)

Great turning.

Man...those rock. Not a 'hohum' one in the lot. My favorite is the buckeye burl...but I'm a sucker for that wood. The BLM is a close second and perhaps ties with the mallee. Fantastic work...:good2:

Thank you! I turn a lot of BLM because it's everywhere In the willamette valley. I pay about $10 per Burl cap.

Todd - Outstanding work! The Buckeye is the one that wins for me. That wood is so fragile when not stabilized its a fee in itself that you kept to together. All are very well done!

Outstanding! The grain in some of those pieces is just pure eye candy. :)

Wow, if you can buy them at that price then buy some for me. That's a crazy good price. :wacko:

Or I can trade you some TN woods like wild cherry, spalted maple, hard maple, walnut, sycamore, pear, pecan. etc. for some caps. There's just not many burls to be found around West TN.

By the way, those are some fantastic natural edge burl bowls. Thanks for sharing the pics.

That is such a crazy price! Awesome

These are some really nice pieces as a whole. A couple of those would make me nervous for sure. Awesome work
