BilletHead Posted December 7, 2022 Author Posted December 7, 2022 My first tackle of a burl. A mulberry burl gifted to me by a friend. I took this in my hands and said what a mess not knowing what I would be getting into. I really did not know what I was doing so I took it to my bandsaw and started taking slices off a little at a time fin ally getting it squared up, Then bigger slices, those were then sliced again into lengths for pen blanks. Looks like a bunch but there are flaws and cracks to contend with all will not be useable. I call my first burl a success. This was done Day before yesterday. Then yesterday I tried turning two. One was dyed to enhance it a bit, VID_20221206_150403623.mp4 VID_20221206_162121045.mp4 Daryk Campbell Sr, Johnsfolly, tho1mas and 2 others 5 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

Foghorn Posted December 7, 2022 Posted December 7, 2022 My last major attempt ended with me slicing off the end of my left ring finger about 1/2". Was the semifinals of the freshmen basketball tournament and I was probably a little distracted. Didn't get to play that night and I shy away from sharp blades anymore. Daryk Campbell Sr 1

I wonder if I am being careful at times. Good reminder. My old line foreman was using a table saw and ran the blade into one of his fingers lengthways.
