I really like it when a new friend gives me a unique piece of wood AND offers to show me where I can get more.  This is a piece of Tamerisk Burl.  I’ve never seen burl on these trees & typically, they don’t get big enough to turn.  This one is border-line (especially at the top) but I’m going to see how it works out.  Large pieces of Tamerisk (6″ or so in diameter) are not all that common.  They are also typically very colorful on the inside.  Have seen some beautiful pieces … just never a burl.  Friend say’s I can find all of this that I want.  I get to go hunting & guess I’m going to owe him a nice Christmas or Birthday present for someone.
