I was in my second favorite den of iniquity, Asheville Hardware, and found a nice book about Mark Lindquist.

I did some research and found the below showing his studios.
The Blakely Burl Tree Project Story-Arriving At Lindquist Studios (http://blakelyburltree.com/STORY/arriving_at_lindquist_studios.htm)
How many would KILL for just one of them?
The book also noted that in the 1970s he rough turned a maple bowl and buried it for a year to induce spalting. I have many logs sitting on the ground, cut side to dirt for that purpose. Roughing first, then spalting is an idea.

I like Mark's earlier turned things more than the later sculpted pieces.
