First, I would like to thank the real artisans here for inspiring me to try my hand at bowl turning. I've been doing spindle turning for a while, but decided it was time to take the plunge since I had this beautiful burl ready to be hacked up--
Yes.... my first bowls are out of burl. I...
I noticed this small burl in my back yard two tears ago. I have been watching it grow larger every day since I first noticed it. I am thinking it is about ready for the lathe...... Would you cut it now, or let it mature more?

my neighbor has a red bud tree that has three "fingers" for lack of better words coming up from the main shoot close to the ground - one has a burl on it that looks to be about a foot across - it is raining now- will get a picture later- anyway she said that I could have it - I do not want to...
Oak Burl vase.
Here is an Oak burl vase that I just finished from the large Oak burl i got in the spring. It is 9" tall finished with deft. It is new form for me.

This is my first Burl I ever turned. I have been turning for a little over a year and finally felt up to the challenge of a beast of a bowl as this, I turned it very green, the branch was only down 3 weeks before I turned it. Got it down to 1/4" sides and 3/8" bottom. It is 9.5" diameterx 4"...
