Need Burl

jhiggins · Jan 21, 2005

I'm looking for some burl or some nicely-figured wood. I need handle blocks, and longer scabbard-length pieces. Anyone know of a decent source these days? I'm looking for something perhaps blonde in color, but anything nice will work.

I have been getting some excellent Burl from Jeff Diote at Downie Knife supplies

Thanks, Abe. I found what I needed at LumberLady's.

Hey Jeff,
There's a good wood shop in Rowley, Ma. Just north of Topsfield on RT1. http://www.righteouswoods.net/woodmenu.html

A great selection of woods, I've not seen much better in New England. You can get lots of wood there :footinmou ...

WOW!

Nice stuff. I just called, but the guy isn't too accommodating. I wanted a specific size and he said they won't cut it off a larger log for me. Said I would have to buy the whole log.

*sigh*

Guess I'll have to take a trip to Mass. Oh well, I'm overdue for a visit to Mr. Dooley's anyway! Sliante!

When you visit Mass. I hope you do not go any further south than Boston.

GrassHoppa and I must make a trip to that lumberyard too.

I second the spmesquite.com site. They are nice people and send orders out in a hurry. They also have packed smaller pieces of wood around the order instead of worthless newspapers or "peanuts", so that there is usually a bonus of free wood. Their prices on Mesquite burl are cheaper that most places prices on straight lumber.

Our favorite Lumberlady has been very ill lately, but must be feeling better, thankfully. I talked to her son that was running things while she was hospitalized. She is the greatest, and wonderful to do business with. Hey, get well, gal!
