I Like Big Burrs...

[CDMR]

and I cannot Lie. You other fellas can't deny..

 

This log was pretty rotten but got some 1.5m x 1m slabs at 50mm

 

The other was very similar, covered in really deep burrs and about .75m x 3m

 

I also got a load of big burrs up to 30" diameter. Any ideas as to the best thing to do with them? I am assuming, seal and dry very slowly then find a turner with a really big lathe?

 

I believe they are silver maple.

I must scrap way to much slabs. Id have cut the good bit out and burned the rest.

I know! Who knew white rot and splits right up the middle where desirable? Not me anyway.

My lathe will turn 36" over the bed and 5` 9" with bed removed, not me in the picture but same lathe.
