Thread: Burl Problem

you should be able to cut it fine with a chainsaw mill.

i do crutches that size all the time.

Thanks Wiseboy,

I wasn't sure how to do it, I thought that some one in WA might have answered.

Anyone out there interested???

Theres always Ken Elliott in Keysbrook. Not too far away. If you take the burl down to him Im sure it will fit across his horizontal bandsaw.
Hes' in the book under K. Elliott.

If there is someone in the Mandurah area that can help me I would pay in money or a couple of slices to get it done. I would have sent a pic but I can't get that to work yet. I will try at home tonite (at Work now) I would think that tere would be 5 or 6 slices depending how we can hold it.

Hey Guys,

Contacted Ken Elliott, yesterday, all is good, I am going out there in a couple of weeks to do the job. I will get my Pooh together and get some pics and get them posted.
