I would just love to see the slab that was the next cut down from where you cut the burl I think that may be worth a bit of chainsaw work
I can turn large lumps of wood into very small bowls

Nice Sally Wattle bowls TTIT. Sally and Black are the same are they not? There is some nice colour, pattern and variation in this wattle.
Next time you go to Rockhampton, look on the right hand side of the road just over the Dawson River, not far from the stone pitching. You will see the remains of a Black Wattle. The rest of it is in the yard here, except for a couple of bits I gave to Ray Shaw and the two bowls and ring stand that are under the house waiting for someone to take a liking to.
The tree was down but still rooted, so full of water, so the pieces I have turned I did green and dried in a microwave and finished. Cuts well green but a bit hard dried. I finished with WOP gloss.
(No pictures, so it did not happen, eh? I can if somebody really wants a looksee.)

Heading that way tomorrow actually! I'll see if I can remember to spot it
You're right that it is commonly called Black Wattle by many but so are about a hundred other species of acacia so I always choose to call it Sally Wattle which comes from its botanical name 'Acacia salicina'. Common names are a huge cause of confusion - comes down to which side of town you grew up on in many cases!
