There is a post on here if you use the search on how to do it. You can use the album option under your AS profile to save the pic to or you can use a number of free internet photo albums. Download the pic and open it. Copy the URL and go to your post. Click on the "insert Image" icon above right of the typing box. It will ask for the URL. Paste it in but make sure you do not have "http//" twice. Click on the preview button to see if it worked and then post if all is good. Good luck.

the burl looks smaller than it is but the reason it is so heavy is because i cut the trunk out right with it, thanks for showing me how to add pictures it worked

Burls generally sell as a 'weight green' price per pound. So you basically weigh your burl green and tag the weight...it'll carry this same weight even after 20 years of drying on the market.

So the big question....what do you expect to get per pound of your burl?

Oak burls in this area are some common, I couldn't give them away.....sorry.

this thing is heavy!!! it has got to be well over 300 pounds but i have no idea how to weigh it

i find old bathroom scales and put a 2 x 6 between two and sit the log down slowly . they come in 300 lb so two will weigh one end of 1200 or explode with 1500 . Garage sales 2 or three dollars ea so its entertainment .
