Wow Greg….now that is a one big piece of burl….that tree must have had some serious issues. Was the spalting all natural or did you give it an assist? I can see that one providing alot of slabs for tables and the like….did it have alot of punk or was it solid?

It was all solid with incredible colors. it was naturally spalted. The died and then sat for 2 years. then I harvested it.
I have seen where maple burls had 3” of live wood and the rest spalted to the core.

Spectacular, those pictures are making me drool all over my keyboard…..what fantastic grain….and the spalting! Nature has no equal when it comes to eye candy….we just can’t copy the palette of colors available in nature.

How did you harvest it?

-- My broker promised me he would treat my money as if it were his own. Trouble is, he did.

Just with a back hoe and 16’ trailer

Greg, This is one humungous Burl! The color and and grain are outstanding. That had to be one heck of a job to get this one out and home!

Thanks for sharing

-- Chuck Emery, Michigan,

Beautiful Spalting….thanks for sharing it with us.
How are you selling it ? By the pound or board foot or what ? thanks

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

It is by the pic and BF. It is all dry now so not much weight to it!
Thanks
