    That is pen turner Ron in Drums PA.

    It can be seen here:

    It sure would make a bunch of pens!

    I think Ken George would love to make a table out of that!

        I was thinking the same thing about the scrapes!

        Hearn Hardwood in Oxford PA has a few of these on display. I can't even fathom what one of those slabs costs . . . any guesses?

            That'll probably retail well in the 6 figures...

              Pretty neat log to see in person.

              Interesting to see where the images have landed.
              Not that I mind, it's been fun tracking down the websites.

              Glad you enjoyed the images

                The burl in that log is just absolutly spectacular(read $$$) . I'd love to have a few 10's of board feet of that. Would make a very very cool table top insert. Or 5 or 10.

                  Some of that will be turned into veneer. At least I would hope so. That would maximize the unique beauty of the burl in that log. Spread it around so to speak. I want.

                    Welcomes to Ron!
                    Looking at some of the figure it might be a cool project to make a simple round ball, it might end up looking just lie Jupiter.

                    I think history would have been very much different if Leonardi DiVinci had a belt sander.
