Burls ??

[Rasmus Petersen]

I have a turning college thats selling most of his turning stock (3-4 tons of dry burls) He has asked me to help him get some prices, so i turn to you, where would you sell burls like that, they are large most of them. black Locust Burl, Elm Burl (large pices)Oak burl and list goes on..........

Stored most of them for more than 10 years.


Maby some resllers in Europe to get a feel for the price? But i havent been able to find any..

I would buy the lot if i had any money but sadly i havent..

IIRC, in Australia, burls are sold by weight and rarity. FOB is pricey!

In Oz

Dried burls sell for a premium, your looking at around $5-7 per kilo for good burl and it depends on the timber type and rarity etc
