Slabbing a Red Maple Burl Log

[Kyle]

Here is a Red Maple Burl Log I slabbed out last week.. pretty nice material. Widest point was 36", 91 long and had burl, curl and birdseye to the pith.



and the actual slabbing..

Very nice.... Got a large maple trunk (also red I think), pretty knarly looking if any body wants it. Top half fell off this winter. Bottom half (25-30 ft) still standing and small branches on it died in the last few weeks. Don't know what the wood is like. Don't know the condition of it other than it was alive recently. If anyone wants it, just need to come get it. If I take it down it will be to burn it because I don't have the tools to do much else with it other than a use a few small pieces.
I will get a picture of it on tomorrow.

Nice burl Kyle! I really need to take the time to build my slabber; you're having all the fun!
