The Burl Tree How




















I was asked by email how I turned the Burl tree .Here are two pictures that show the process.
The piece was mounted with the aid of hot melt glue to what I term the slide ..A bowl was turned then the piece remounted in the new position .The straps were added for extra safety as I had to wind up the speed to get a cut that saved on sanding .A unique piece of timber .I enjoyed making this .
