Thanks guys

I'm just glad the shop teach decided to give up the slab, only had to work him a year for it :P The only bad thing about turning this burl is I quickly came to the conclusion that I need a whole lot more burl! I still have a 16"(Dante's Inferno,you'll understand once turned) and a couple 10" blanks, and quite a few bottle stopper and pen blanks left over from the slab.
