Western Big Leaf Maple Burl - round

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

Two Western Big Leaf Maple burls.  The round one is approx 350 lbs, 34"D x 30" small end x 23" high.  The stem weight approx 300 lbs, 15" D x 10.5" D (small end) x 55" long.  I will sell separately or together, asking $3.00 lb, will consider offer.  You pay shipping, I will package at no charge, on pallet and shrink wrapped to protect.

the round one is shown here - having problems getting pictures small enough to post

will put second post for the long one

Nice!! 
What do you use to wash off the dirt?

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

I use a 4,000 psi Landa pressure washer to remove dirt and bark.

According to the rules I cannot sell stuff, as I would classified as a store.  I am not sure I I have at least 25 postings.

I am sure Jay or myself can post it for you if you like.  I dont think Nathen is going to make an issue as its what the site is all about.  I think on a rules basis, its probably written to prevent the spammers from filling up the server space with garbage for sale that has nothing to do with wood working. 

Jay is a moderator on that site so I am sure he will let you know how to procede. 

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

That would be great, if Nathan would let that happen.  If you want to try, Kirk, go right ahead.

[Kirk Allen]

Done Frank!

I hasd someone see these pictures a few days ago, from Pa..  He wanted to know the cost of shipping and I will let him know, but he wanted only 20or 30 pounds of one of the pieces.  I told him I do not want to split any one of the pieces, but have other pieces in that weight catagory he might like.  We will see.

This block finally sold, two days ago.  It will be going to the San Jose area.  Along with the burl went two 16" diam. by 14' Western Yew logs that age around 300 years.
