Burls
« on: December 31, 2010, 12:30:30 pm »
I collected several nice burls.  How are you suppose to seal them so they do not check?  I cut the limbs off with the burls and cut off the limb to each side- should I just seal the ends?  One is about the size of a football- should it go ahead and cut it in half?  Thanks for any help!

Yep ! seal all the cut ends. let them set around outside in a dry place for a year,then bring them in for a year and they should be pretty good.  '  Frank

If you hold your mouth just right when you cut the burls you will have good looking women knock on your door. I made this bowl about ten years ago.
