West Aust. Jarrah Burl

Project by Bob Collins posted 37 days ago 280 views 0 times favorited 8 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Pictures 1,2,3,,4 are from the same burl. The guy sending it to me thought he was doing me a favour and saving postage by cutting all the natural edging of the top part of the burl. I cut into two to get natural poripine look on the plate in 1 and 2 adding a base to get the height. Salvaged a small portion of edging on 3 and 4 but the wood grains make it OK. Unlike the rot in pictures 5 and 6, Jarrah burls do not seem to have much rot or worm holes in them.
Pictures 5 and 6 and what Karson asked for, these are left overs from the Red Gum Burl slab and will give some idea of the rot.

Very nice, I like how you did the base it really adds a lot to it. What material is the base?

Hi Indiana, The base is another piece of Jarrah burl, an off cut from another project. Thanks for the comment.

Bob, The base you did for the first one makes it so unique. That is truly a piece of Art. I can’t stop looking at it. Absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks again for your comments. I’m still in the learning and discovering process and the encouragement from fellow L.J’s has been great.
