What free wood did you find today?

Saw this book cover on another outdoor site and thought some on here might be interested (and hopefully not part of the book topic).

I have the stiff to stabilize but not soing it yet. I have someone I can get to do it if needed. What's your thoughts on a trade

@eric, I have no clue on a fair trade since I’m unable to find anything on the web about prices for sassafras eye burl like the ones that came off this tree. It seems to be an extremely rare burl so post an offer in the trade forum based on what you would be willing to pay for the wood. A turkey call with this stabilized burl would look really nice and would truly be one of a kind.
 
@Karl_TN
You send me enough to make 3-4 calls. I can send you a call back made from this after its dry and I get it stabilized. Or I can make you a call from something I have here
 
Not today, but a couple weeks ago I went on a hike and found a black cherry branch laid down. This little gem was sitting right in the middle of it and I couldn’t resist. Black cherry burl has been really hard for me to get my hand on for some reason, so I was especially glad I happened upon it. I’ll hopefully be turning it into some nice knife handles in the near future. 1420573E-111E-485D-91ED-CC17147EC339.webp

@Eric, I’m trying to get ready for two craft shows so I‘ll try to get some cut and measure moisture when I can find the time. There are some other WB members that asked for some a while back, but moderators that keep this forum going are my top priority so I want to go back through some old post to see how much I’m willing to give up.

What is the typical size blank for a turkey call blanks? Do you do any casting after stabilizing so I can avoid cutting up larger pieces that may be more valuable as butterflied veneers for box makers?
 
My nephew had a Bradford Pear tree taken out today. I was able to snag 3 logs from it. Not sure what I will make out of it yet. Chuck
