I've cut those burls before, they are hard!! but beautiful.
Did you use carbide tools to turn it?
Turned out great.

Always interesting when there's a fight over disposal rights! Thanks!

Nope, no carbide just M2 tool steel and a LOT of trips to the sharpening stones. We are now looking into upgrading our equipment and mounting something right next to the lathe. Considering the Sorby system.

They are hard, but they do shave, and they do polish nicely. The density variations can grab a tool in a heartbeat or less. I'm also looking into some of the Stuart Batty tools as an option to improve progress.

The crucible steels are much better than M2 for edge maintenance in harsh cutting. There's so much abrasives in this stuff it's like turning sand! I've taken at least 1/4" maybe 1/4" off my main round scraper. Can't put a gouge into this stuff it'll snag it and throw it at you.
