Monster Maple Cluster Log

WOW! That is some serious wood! Looks like it will be some really nice stuff too! All the growths on the log, should turn out to be some gorgeous wood!

Let us know what it looks like after being milled!

Man oh man, would I love to have a turning blank or two off that beast! You’re a lucky man to have found lumber like that!

That is a big one. Watch your toes!

Wow, that’s one ugly log! I will be very interested in seeing the slabs you get out of this log.

Holy shoot Greg, that one is wicked! I can’t even start to imagine the jaw-dropping figure hidden in that burl cluster.

so i figure you have easily gotten into this log to uncover the beauty inside…i just know you have…i would have that log all cut up…..and would have cut one burl to see what was in there…how do you do that, i know folks like to buy it whole..for turning…do you do one just to see what the tree produced…would like to know your process…...

-- GRIZZMAN ...[''''']

What a great looking piece of wood. I can’t wait to see the cuts.

-- Dale, Ohio

I bet this is going to be some beautiful turning material!! Can’t wait to see what you do with this one!!

Thanks for sharing

-- Chuck Emery, Michigan,

Wow….I too would love to see a slice of that

Looking at that log, I can see why you wanted to keep it in one long chunk instead of cutting it into smaller
pieces. The long slabs from that tree should really be something, as well as all the those smaller pieces
that will be cut off making the big one. Thank you for sharing and giving us something to drool over and
think about.
