Well unfortunately I am in Washington DC for two weeks so I decided to make the best of it and visit my favorite Wood dealer on the East Coast. Fortunately Dunlap Woodcrafts in Chantily, VA is only a few miles from where I was working so I dropped by for an unannounced visit one day. And boy howdy did he have a big burl there, I asked Mr. Dunlap if he minded if I took a pic. I posed my friend next to it for scale, Mr. Dunlap and Daniel took the time to show us around for at least an hour or two. Unfortunately I forget what species wood this was, Maybe Burl source can chime in on his opinion. I purchased some cocobolo, loads of curly maple and a few hawk handles for future projects. It was a great visit to a great shop, if you guys are ever in the area you need to drop by, I hope you guys enjoy looking at the pics as much as I did taking them.
THe last pic is of a burl piece that was 3ft tall and just a real piece of art, both sides of this piece was a sight to look at. Personally if I could have afforded it I would have just placed it on a nice base and put it in the corner of my family room to look at.
