Elm Burr

[Andymacp9]

I was wondering if this might be worth something to someone. Or any tips/advice about doing something with it myself.

Good pics and measurements - strange as there is none of the 'eyes' coming through on the inside...

would be good for bowl turning. I do turn bowls but on a foot-powered pole-lathe, no way i can turn somethign that large. im sure there will be people interested tho,

Excuse my ignorance but what's the eyes?

[dervishcarving]

Good lord - that is one gnarly derriere!

 

The eyes that have been mentioned are the tight, dark pippings that result from close grown epicormic growth. This is what sawn burr elm looks like:

im not sure that there are going to be many eyes in that burr as i dont think its your classic burr but looks more like a "lump" for want of a better word. should still have some beautiful swirl in the grain though. my lathe can handle it but i dont have any dosh so unless your giving it away i'll have to pass.
