burl

6" high x 7" wide bowl from a Maple burl. Sealed, edge-burned, and waxed. This was actually in my unfinished and don't-know-what-to-do pile for about 3 years because of some punky spots. Glad I found it.

This one is a bit different as I have no idea of the species, it was dropped by a friend as part of a roadside find by him. Odd shaped, part burl, fire damaged, a couple of voids and fragile. 15cm x 8.5cm oiled.

This box is a small ring box, made of Ziricote with a Redwood Lace burl inlay. The burl inlay was in the cutoff bucket. Size is approx. 3 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter. I changed the photo angle for a better view.

Stands 11.25 inches tall. Brass, Gaboon Ebony, Cherry Burl.

Black oak burl from a stump in our yard. 12 inches across and 5 inches deep. Amazing grain in this burl; I had a bit of fun twice turning as it went oval and was difficult to finish turn. Finished with mahoney's walnut oil/wax

This 8-inch diameter bowl/vase was turned from a block of Poplar Burl. The overall shape reminds me of a head of cabbage, hence the name. I was inspired by a recent demo by Cindy Drozda at the AAW conference on how to plan and cut a burl along with an image I saw of a similar 'ball in bowl'...

Here's an image of the other side of the 8-inch diameter bowl/vase turned from a block of Poplar Burl. The overall shape reminds me of a head of cabbage, hence the name. Poplar is usually a very plain wood, but this burl has provided plenty of excitement with its variety of colors, textures...

Maple Burl wall hanging with water and alcohol-based dyes and many coats of spray lacquer. The center is the handiwork of termites, some of Mother Nature's own artists... I embellished the outer rim with a torch to contrast against the dye and to complement the natural color in the center.

This 8-inch diameter bowl was turned from a Poplar burl. Color and detail contrasts were added with a carved and colored band around the mid-section. Finish is Watco oil buffed on the Beall system.

Was a cutoff from a larger section. Under 4" diameter, under 2" tall. Finished with paste wax

This 5-inch diameter bowl was turned from a much larger Poplar burl that my brother-in-law recently gifted to me. Poplar is usually not a very exciting wood but this burl provided plenty of surprises. A top view and views of the burl are provided in the comments.

This 5-inch tall bowl was turned from a Poplar burl that my brother-in-law gifted to me recently. I normally think of Poplar as practice wood but was really impressed by the grain patterns and colors in this piece of poplar burl. Finish is Watco oil buffed on the Beall System.

Redwood burl vessel. Turned wet and dried rapidly. This was a complete and utter joy to work with. Some wonderful movement. 5” tall by 10.5” long by 9.5” wide.
