Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen
A friend is clearing his block of 2 1/2 acres and he has invited me to help after an excavator pushed all the trees into a pile. I cut these Jarrah Burls, got some firewood and then turned and carved them. Good haul overall and stunning grain and colour,
Sincerely
Willy

You have been a busy lad. Great colour in that Jarrah, and a bonus in getting the burls.
A bit of hard work certainly paid dividends.
Have fun converting it into shavings and assorted items.

No No no
Not boasting, informing the free world of an opportunity afforded me :roll:
And yes, I have been busy, got a heap more photos and carving done

So Willy, how much drying time did the burls have before being carved? Thanks

Hello Rod, I guess about 2 hours. They were bone dry and I couln't wait to see what they were like, despite having tons around the house
