Highly figured Burr Elm woodturning blank. Interested grain throughout with a few different burr formations and wavy grain. Will make a interesting big bowl or hollow form. There is a central crack formation that will take an interesting fill, shouldn't effect finished work.
All blanks for sale are a byproduct of my established woodturning business. I buy whole trees and logs that I use for my turning work. The best offcuts are saved and air dried for years before being moved to heated rooms for final drying. The long drying process guarantees stable predictable, dry all the way through blanks. All blanks are cut to get the best out of a particular piece of wood, they are not cut to make symmetrical perfect looking discs. Occasionally wood will have historic worm holes, these are from when the tree was standing dead and have been eliminated during the drying process. If you are really worried about worms and bugs stick your wood in the microwave for about 30 seconds on low heat, it will kill everything. I will point out cracks, voids, soft areas and bark inclusions, they can be filled or worked around with a little bit of imagination. Often the most interesting wood is around these areas. All sizes are approximate. I do my best to be accurate. I copy and paste from previous listing, very occasionally there are small discrepancies in sizes and descriptions. Please let me know if I have made a mistake or you are not happy with dimensions of a blank. I will sort it out.
Not all burr is equal, it varies in quality and beauty. Selling prices are worked out by the quality of the burr wood combined with the size and weight of blank. You pay for what you get. Top quality burr elm is becoming very hard to come by now as it is almost all gone. Large pieces of wood take years to dry correctly, my selling prices reflect this.
Postage is now included in the price and is worked out by weight of blank. Unless otherwise requested I send tracked 48 hour royal mail delivery. Postage discount is offered for multiple items. I will refund you extra postage cost after purchase. Or you can ask for an invoice at purchase.
The easiest way to get reduced postage is to complete purchase and I will refund you the extra postage.
