Freshly cut today and I don’t turn bowls or pens. Would this be worth cutting into board or selling it to someone that does turn bowls? Please give your opinions. I’m in Owensboro KY. Thanks |

What equipment do you have? Do you have the marketing medium/network to sell it? Have you worked with burls? Got a kiln for drying? Any need for heating your house?

That’s not a bulge, that’s a burl. Certainly will have some value as figured wood whether for bowls or even a slab table. -- Bondo Gaposis |

Take it to a large wood distributor (Rockler, Woodcrafters, etc.) and show it to them; they may buy it as-is or refer you to someone who will. There is a ton of nice wood in there, and rare to a point; it’s worth a try to save it from a fire pile. -- Power tools put us ahead of the monkeys |
