Interest in Burl Wood?

[Biggs]

If anybody makes it near Temple with some of that wood, I would like to do some bowls on the large!

This is a great thread. After dividing up the tree, I hope we get a sub thread of the creations made from it. Even as small bow grips to larger tables.

Do they make baseball bats out of Elm ?

I played in college (albeit a pitcher)...pretty sure the three types are maple, ash and hickory. I haven't heard of bats being made of anything else.

EDIT:

I just upgraded my lathe to a JET (still old and not that big) but I would be very interested in getting in on some of this. I can't make a trip to houston specifically for it if anyone is bringing it back to DFW area. I could chip in for gas.

That’s a cool idea to see what ends of it.
