Beautiful Osage Burl Chunks
« on: March 12, 2011, 07:27:00 PM »
I just sawed a burl I cut several years ago in Illinois.  Isn't that just stunning?

 

 

I'm not sure how big of a chunk you glass bowyers need for risers and such but I am open to trades or selling if you are interested.  I hate for it to end up as bookends which is what my wife immediately thought  :)

Love the look of Osage.  That is sweet.

That's a weird looking burl.  All the burl I've seen had bunches of little pin knots and the outer surface under the bark looked like a mountain range.

Sure is pretty though.

John I really hate to tell you this but it isn't that nice at all.  Just box it up and send it to me I will dispose of it for you. LOL.  Gosh that is some simply stunning wood, you should start making glass bows you already have a great start on some outstanding riser wood.

You got that right PD! Then you wouldn't need to use the 2 pieces of H glued together to make it look the same as that right there does. That sure does look nice John.

Man those are sweet lookin; they'd make some nice project wood for something? Knife handles maybe? Or like PD bow handles for sure!
