Elm Burls

I scored some elm burls the other day.
Some of them were huge (2 feet across)
Here are three that were smaller and stored in a woodshed.
They are 7 inches, 5 inches and 5 inches wide.
I can't wait until the big ones dry (they've spent the NW winter outdoors).
Comments welcome.

Those are some beauties! I really like the way you save the edges.

Great work! Are they from the same burl and if they are, what system did you use to core the burl?

Thanks for the comments!
These are all from separate, small burls.
I do want to core the larger ones, once they dry out a bit.
The finish is Mahoney's Walnut Oil.
