thats not a burl.... this burl grow right around the jarrah tree! 1.5mt wide and over 2.5mt long. Now thats a burl!!! Oh weighed in at 2.3tonne when it was whole, pic was taken half way through slabbing it.  Darn had hoped the jpg logo would have disappeared when it was posted  Last edited by comgreserv; 28th January 2011 at 01:42 AM. |

Actually the smaller ones are worth selling - people make bowls, pens, vases etc not just tables which is what I'd assume that slab would be useful for. Theres a great website called Australian Burl (he exports burl from western aust I think to the US) where there are many smaller pieces. Eric - read your comment the wrong way - Yes Ebay would be an option and people do Ebay them but I was thinking surely theres a more specialized site out there for people in the woodworking business or hobbists (sp?) | |

You could sell it as a bowl with the big whole that is already in it!  |
