Burl Musk
I cut this bit of burl Musk log into slabs today for drying. The best burl grain though, comes from the large burl that develops at the base of the trunk which I cut into veneers on my band saw while wet and dried it inside near the fire. It seems to have worked pretty good and I will post some pics of the veneer when I use it on some boxes soon. The grain in the veneers is pretty awesome. Burl Musk is my favorite.

TS
Looks very interesting. Looks as though it was a decent size burl too. What dimensions are we looking at?

thats spectacular timber TasSculptor,
You call it Musk? is this what we call the Musk Daisy bush (oleria argophylla)?
we have it growing here but its quite small, too small to mill but a very beautiful plant, perhaps I should keep my eye out for any larger bits in the bush
cheers,
