    4.5” x 3.5” Couldn’t pass up this little chunk of box elder burl when I was at Craft Supplies last September. Finally got around to putting it on the lathe last week. Turned it to ~3/16” thickness and applied my go-to shellac finish.

    Stacked hemispheres

    6” x 4”, flaming box elder burl and black walnut Couldn’t resist keeping the natural edge of this flaming box elder burl intact, so I decided to turn a hemispherical hollow form with a massive void. It wouldn’t stand on its own due to obvious weight distribution issues, so I turned a smaller...

    Retinal Vasculature Platter

  7. Live-Sided Box Elder Burl Bowl

    Live-Sided Box Elder Burl Bowl

    One of the characteristics of Box Elder I like is the silky smoothness and white colour of the wood as it comes off the lathe.
