Hey, that must have been some big tree to have that size burl living on it! Thanks for sharing.

Neat burl! We get some really big ones on the redwood trees out here, only they're reddish color of course.My husband has some big slabs of madrone burl. Any burl is beautiful. Thanks for showing pictures.

Dave, I think there are "mountain oysters" in mountain soup!

Forrest, are you sure that is a mountain soup bowl? Looks like something my Pap-paw would have taken a bath in on Saturday nights....
