I got the chance to try out new stabilized burl Burl Source. I have to admit this is the first stabilized burl I have used. I got a block that was 1.5 x 1.5 x 6 & 3/4" I figured I would make one of my Wilderness model knives. This knife has some classy lines and works well with burl. The Burl I got cut very easy work well on a sander and hand sanded very well. I had to cut my block down to make scales for my knife, so the first step was to cut it in strips. For the finish I hand sanded it to 400 grit the buffed it. I am real happy with the final finish of this burl as well. I know one thing I will be buying some of the scales to use in the future. I also have two thin pieces left and will be making another knife with this same block. Thanks again for the opportunity. Doug
Here is what they look like before and after finishing
