I dropped a fair-sized cherry this morning. Still live but right in front of a nicer oak so she went down. Half-way up one of the two leaders was a good sized burl. Didn't think much of it until it was on the ground. I cut the edge off one side and it's pretty nice looking.
I'm not into making furnature, (all my wood is cut for firewood) but this is a pretty neat looking chunk. Below are a couple pictures...One with a saw on top to give a reference to size and one close-up.
What should I do with this? Is it worth anything? Should I take it to the mill and have them slab it up?
By the way, there's also a 10' section of very straight stalk, 20"+ at the base and 16"+ at the top that I didn't block up. Should I make some lumber out of this or just cut it up?
Thanks!
