Burl Wood

P.L. · 4th February 2008, 03:58 PM

Does anyone sell Burl wood. I was thinking of trying to save the burls I com across and make some extra money. Just wondering if anyone has already tried this and if it is even worth the effort?

Simply dont get enough big ones here but certainly worth saving.

Yeah, save them for sure if it's good timber, this guy is making heaps. Brads Burls & Craftwoods but east coast ones aren't much good, not that I get many, but you can find a use for them. A client of mine makes clocks, like in brads gallery. This is from a Brush box.

Thanks for the replys. I'll save them as I go, and maybe make some $ down the road.

I'd like to see a few more pics. The trouble is most people don't know what a burl is, maybe if he showed a before & after picture he might get a better result.

we will try and get some pic's of burls on the tree's....so you can see before and after pic's.now that we found a place to post'um
