I hope to have my garage wood shop fully equipped by the end of the year, and I would dearly love to put my woodworking skills to use with one good piece of wood burl. That’s hard to find and easy to screw up, so it would be a labor of love.
Old trees are beautiful but when they fall,look out. When you see a 1000 year old, 300 ft. Sequoia laying on its side with a root ball as big as most oak trees,you get the real scale of how big those suckers are.
“The process takes about a year and a half to get the finished product, because that’s how long it takes the massive wood slabs to dry.”
Hmmm. Better put it inside then. Just get wet again outside.
Nice cross section of those old trees. You can see the heartwood and sapwood. The “wild-edge” with the bark is sort of a nice touch on the table too.
