Several years dry. May be a bit dry for turning.

Very minimal checking.

Sizes up to 4 foot diameter and 4-6" thick.

I have two bandsaws.....a Jet vertical and a NorwoodLM2000.

Any suggestions?

They won't be too dry for all turners, box, game call or pen turners for example. (probably more)

got any pics? never seen a box elder burl before.

Have to take and post one in the morning. Very beautiful wood grains.

Are you asking how to cut it up? Or where to market the slab? Or both?

Both, sort of. I can sell to treeline...the supplierers for lots of carvers.

In fact....I cut a fair amount of wood they later sell.

I don't know if I should cut it with or against the grain. For carvers anyway.

Table tops....or jewlery boxes are a bit less stringent.
 
yo slice them into about 1" thick boards and put them for sale on ebay they get bought by furniture crafters all the time!
 
Have any photo's?

I might could be interested in some BEB for my own use....
