Old maple root

[CrealBilly]

Anyone interested in a old growth red maple root "ball"? If so make an offer via PM. Sure to be some wild grain in this one.

Where is this located? IL??
Do you plan to ship it?

Man, I would love to see what Stave could turn that into. W/ his creative mind and carving talent, I can see all kinds of creatures coming and going in there.

That kind of looks like how I feel! :gar-La; That should have some really awesome grain patterns! You sure come up with some great wood Jeff.

Yes here in southern IL.

Details to be worked out... But I could deliver with my PU for the cost of fuel.

I will engrain seal all exposed grain (no bark) with ancorseal.

If you would like to use this for a table base I could leave a little bit of the log attached to the root "ball" to achieve desired table top height. No guarantee 4 big guys could move it though

 

[CrealBilly]

No takers? Flipped upside down it would make a unique / one of a kind table top base. Although I would hate to be the guy responsible for hand mortising all those root fingers into the top

 

[Brogan]

I was thinking it would be interesting to flip it, but instead of a solid/wooden top, a glass one, so the cut root ball could be seen.

I bet you could get some nice gun stocks out of that.:icon_thum

 

[CrealBilly]

Sorry guys but it's now spoken for.

Sure would like to see what the taker of your gnarly maple stump creates from it Jeff. It could be a real show stopper!
