What’s INSIDE this burl (hanging off the tree)

If you like interesting types of wood, wood burls are so interesting. We’ve had one hanging off of a tree that we’ve been looking out for years. Finally we’ve decided to harvest it. If you want to explore cutting down the tree and seeing what’s inside, this would be the video to watch

Man you destroyed that burl

[@Ianart26]

damn man! did you ever post any pictures of what it looked like sanded???!?

Leave 6in of the tree on each end of burl and seal let dry for at least a year for every inch in thickness.

Thanks, as soon as we cut it, we realized it would’ve been nice to have some extra room on either side so when it dries it doesn’t crack on the part that you want. So far it’s been drying out really nice. It’ll make some nice pens on the wood lathe.

I’ve cut 200-300 of these burls and no wax or seal is needed. Let it dry naturally and turn it naturally. Why stop the drying process when your goal is to dry the wood?

Nice work! I do something similar

[@jasonstclair1329]

Harvested way to soon !

So what causes this to happen I’ve got several on our property

stressors to the tree, such as injury, disease or insect damage

If I ever run across anyone using an electric chainsaw in the woods, imma smack you. Don’t care if I’m trespassing or not when this happens

[@SuperLarrythompson]

Meh

Tree harvesting should be punishable by prison time…. Stop before we have no forest
