Repost - Crazy Burls

[Gypo Logger]

True story: Except the part about Milton Burl.
I once sold a large burl to a guy on Burl Oak Drive in Burlington Ontario.

We have a guy that buys them. We had one that was about 6ft across, the skid steer barely could lift it, was well into the 5000lb area.

Nate, can I have your buyers #?
Thanks

Don't have a number, he just comes by every couple weeks.

Maybe ask "Sir do you have phone # I can pass along to another who has burls from time to time"

Like I said, he doesn't have a phone.

Or, 'I guess you don't want that NIB 066 Arctic in exchange for the referal.' Lol

That makes no sense. I have no use for a 660 for starters, but as if you'd give me a $1200 saw for a phone number that doesnt even exist so a guy that is a thousand miles away can somehow give you $20 a burl.
His name is chief long wolf, he doesn't even speak english. Usually comes by with 2 or 3 people from the village to sort of translate.
I haven't seen him since about September so no idea if he's even around right now.

wow that is one seriously nice burl! Id love to come across one like that! lol my problem is, if I did, I wouldn't know what to do with it...id be afraid that if I used it on something, id find a better project for it and wish I hadn't used it so it would sit in my garage forever and never get used! lol

This is the reason I carry 70 cc w/24" bar minimum. When the right wind hits the area I'd like to be on site to clear the roadway as a public service. Since it is growing on easement the county wood prolly not mind my hauling away what I've cut up At least I've heard "It is easier to get forgiveness than permission." 11Just have to put a branck under root ball before cutting trunk to stand stump back up right?
I wood need to cut into pieces that wood fit into barrel for boil to take tension from that cross grain I've read
Stay safe out there
