I cut this burl off a dead yellow birch in the Adirondacks. Took me a while to hog it out by hand, and it took me longer to sand it smooth. It’s finished with “Clapham’s Beeswax Salad Bowl Finish”, which is just a mixture of beeswax and mineral oil.

Very nice job, it looks like you have hours of sanding there. I didn’t see how large it was until I enlarged the photos, it’s quite the bowl.

This is a very nice bowl. As a “turning challenged” woodworker I really appreciate the skill it takes to do something like this.
Are there any long term stability issues with leaving the bark on the piece like this?

Scott, I don’t think the bark left on will negatively impact the bowl. It took a long time to dry, (about 2 years) probably due to the bark left on and the density of the wood itself.

Wow, that is downright spectacular. Looks like a whole bunch of hand work in that.

Jeremy very nice job. I cut some burl last fall to use for Predator Calls and I am waiting for it to dry out some more. How long should I wait? It is about 6×12x6 inches.
