Curly walnut burl

[opiesbro]

Here is some unbelievable walnut eye candy. Fully cored with juma rings and micarta collars. I just got done tapering it last night.

I'm ready to see how it plays. It's going to have 2 shafts. Straight maple with micarta ferrule and laminated with micarta ferrule. Going with ss radial at about 19oz and about 18.5-19" balance point.

That is some seriously curly walnut. I love figured walnut. I am finally putting some crotch cut walnut to use. I've been eyeballing it for 2 years. That curly should look awesome when finished.

Here are the first looks with finish. Hasn't been sanded or buffed yet.

Al you did a great job on this one..... hard to get good pics tho... When you see this in person you expect to be able to feel the curls in the walnut.....LOL

Thanks Larry... I hope you think it plays as good as it looks. The few I hit with it I thought it was solid!
