Project Information

Hey Lew, this is my favourite wood. Best smelling too, but too strong for some people. Bird's Eye Burl.

It's fairly hard for Cedar. I had to use a bit of super glue in the big crack to make sure it stayed in place. I didn't fill the voids but it's hard to see since the bark in them is so dark. It won't hold water so it's decorative. 10.5" X 3". Food safe finish.

That is gorgeous. I really like that you didn't try to fill the voids. The natural inclusions are so much more attractive.

OOOOOOOW! Now that's a display piece. Nothing better than a burl bowl. Now you're gonna make me see if I have any burl laying here.

Just how often do you encounter this "birds eye" cedar?

Thanks guys!

Les, the Yellow Cedar Bird's Eye Burls are rare, I don't know if I'll be able to get anymore. There are only so many trees out there.
