Ash Burl

[svk]

Hi guys.

Not sure what to do with this. I can't find anyone with a chainsaw mill to cut it down.

Any ideas? Or I might consider selling it. I've had it for 15 years and haven't made any progress so far lol. Main part of beam is about 18".

Not sure what a chainsaw mill would be able to do here.....

#1: What are you wanting to cut it to?
(dimensional blanks or thinner 'stock')

#2: With an unknown size it's hard to tell thickness and such?


You may want to find a 'group' on Facebook(or something), and possibly sell or find a local sawyer to 'whittle' on it?

The middle of the burl is about 12" deep.

What I was hoping to so was slab off about 3 pieces to make coffee tables. Then the rest could be used for smaller projects.

I'll have to check out FB. Thanks for the idea.

The neatest thing I've ever seen from an ash burl was a railing made from book matched cuts. I wish I had a picture. It was similar to a shoji screen but without the rice paper and for railing. Kinda like this but different. lol https://annemichael.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/toshio-pride-copy.jpg

Thanks. I potentially have a line on a guy who is supposed to come to my neighbors and do some logs for him but I'll check that out if it doesn't pan out.
