Wild Cherry Burl

[champ94wfo]

So, my buddy who lives and works in the forest asks me if I want a piece of wild cherry burl.
Of course I said yes, and 2 days later this is what he brought me.
He also said he was bringing me a hard maple burl, but it was bigger and he wasn't sure if he could fit it in the trunk of his Buick.

Burls

I will be more than happy to share, if it is as nice as I am hoping.
Iwill first need to figure out how I am going to get into squares without a lot of waste.
My buddy just called, and he said he is on the way with the huge hard maple burl. I will post some pics later today.
Sometimes it's just great living in Wisconsin.

If you have never processed cherry burl before, shoot me a PM and I can help you with some info. Its very touchy when processing it, because it will crack, and warp in a very short time (what seems like hours). Tremendous amount of waste.

Smells great tho while you're cutting it.........:smile:

This was a couple months ago. -Larry

There are products out there made to displace water trapped in wood which should stabilize the burl. I found a recipe that used 1 part plexiglas chips to 3 parts acetone. Let the plexiglas dissolve and add wood. Just soak for a few months. :smile:

Rudie,
I sent you step by step instructions with pictures on how to process those burls. If you have questions just let me know. -Larry

Larry, I wonder how many people realize the dobie in your avatar is grinning at them being happy and glad to see them. It's a trait in just some of the breed.
