NE Jarrah Burl

7" wide x 8 1/2" long 1 1/2" deep This is the third natural edge/winged form I've done. The second still needs a little work. I've found I like the challenge of doing these. I have a few burls laying around so there will probably be more to come. I have a Black Ash Burl that I roughed out the other day that is 20" plus. Can't wait to finish trhat one. Hey Bud, I still have all my fingers and and haven't brushed up against a spinning wing yet. Now that I've said that, I'll probably do it on the next one.

Nice job, Keith. The raised rim really does add to the effect. How does the backside look?

Cool piece Keith, I like how the wood appears to be boiling on the left side. Is there any finish on this yet? 20" dia. NE bowl?? Are you mad, man?

I really like pieces like this. And this is a beauty!!
Beautiful wood! Was it turned green or roughed - dried - returned?

Tsis is really nice, I like it a lot. I am with Chris, A 20" NE, are you nuts! Smile

. Actually, it sounds like something I would do just to see if I could do it.

You've done a great job with a very interesting piece of wood. The voids look almost like shrinkage cracks that formed as the burl was drying.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Chris - There are several coats of oil on it,but it is a matte finish. A friend is going to teach me how to spray laquer, hopefully in the near future, so I can start getting a little shinier finish on some of my stuff.

Jerry - This is from a stash of burls I've had for about a year. I wrapped them all in cling wrap and their stored in garbage bags. This was dry as dust and turned to a finish.

Rick - I'll post a pic of the bottom. Some of it was turned smooth leaving a portion rough.

Yes, according to my wife I am nuts, but that's beside the point. I figure I've done two small ones so it was time to go bigger. The 20 incher is wet, so it's roughed for now. By the way, I use negative rake scraping to clean up and flatten the top. It worked great.
