This is an uncommon type of burl that forms as a nodule on the end of a root. Some of the Coastal Redwoods will have a root pop out high up the trunk with one of these on the end. This burl looked like a 3 foot long wooden cucumber. It is entirely burl. About the same hardness as normal redw ood so it will need to be stabilized. Some really wild looking stuff. Some of the blocks have figure that looks like a sunburst. The figure in these blocks is very chatoyant with a shimmer that moves around beneath the surface as you move the block.

This is old stock burl that was collected back in the 80s. These blocks will look several shades darker taking on an orange/red color when they are finished.

These photos show both sides of the blocks wiped with a damp cloth to give a better idea how they will look finished.

When you see blocks you want, just post "I'll take #s ...." and I will mark them sold for you. US shipping is $2.50 each or $10 for as many will fit in a flat rate box.

Paypal is our preferred method of payment. Our address for paypal is itsaburl@hotmail.com. Payment is requested within 7 days. If you need to pay with a money order let me know and I will PM our mailing address.

If you need a little more time for payment, please send a PM asking first before posting I'll take #.... I will try to be flexible.
These blocks come with a "No Questions Asked, Money Back Guarantee". If for any reason they are not exactly what you wanted, just send them back within 7 days for a full refund.

845

Good thing you said you weren't going to be selling much for a while ;)

I'll wait and see what else you have coming in the next few days before I have you ship it. Because I know you're just getting warmed up :D.

What do you mean? I waited a few days.
I still haven't finished the webstore. The porch area of my workshop is covered with stuff I will be cutting. I need to at least cut enough to make a path so I can get inside without climbing.
 
Snody and Mark Basford your blocks were shipped today Priority Mail. I think you will really like these.

Only 3 more left. They are really nice ones. This is really good burl that looks a lot different than normal redwood burl.
The figure looks like a sunrise.
