Okay…I’ll admit it…I buy wood on eBay. I purchased a couple of white oak burls – 5 and 8 inch rounds. They included this little piece in the box with a note that it was a freebie. It sat for quite a while – I had to figure out what to do with it. Finally decided to just work around the stuff that I couldn’t sand smooth and see how it goes. Well, it went pretty well. I actually sold this piece! First one! A friend of mine bought it for her mom’s birthday. She wanted something unique. Thanks for taking a look.

I like the unique pieces too. I made a cribbage board from a slab with knots, etc, and it sold before I got a picture!
This will be a treasure for her Mom.

Nice use of some bonus wood. I really like the natural edge on this one.
