Sometimes This Is a Tough Job

[Dream Burls]

Every once a while I get a slab that I really hate to cut up. Here we go again. This is a nice big hunk of Black Nargusta Eye Burl: it doesn't get any better than this. The eyes on this are truly amazing all the way through. It's going to be tough to cut this up and I'll probably keep a couple of pieces for myself. You never know when a new knife might come into your life that needs new shoes. This piece measures about 8"x7"x2.5" so there'll be a good number of blanks to spread around. It's dry and ready to go, just need to get to that bandsaw. That first cut's going to be a bi*ch.

Haha. Yeah. But the art to follow is worth the cuts.

Like a beautiful Damascus blank. You really hate to start cutting/ grinding.
