November 2, 201114 yr comment_38532 I was playing golf a few weeks back and standing on the green looking back into the woods and saw this huge burl. Â I just need to figure someway to get in there and cut that baby down. Â John MoodyJohn Moody Woodworkshttp://www.johnmoodywoodworks.com Report

November 2, 201114 yr Author comment_38537 It is kinda strange what you notice when you are a woodworker. Instead of thinking about the putt, I am looking at the trees and seeing lumber. Â John MoodyJohn Moody Woodworkshttp://www.johnmoodywoodworks.com Report
November 2, 201114 yr comment_38536 Holy cow, that's a dangerous growth. Â That's gotta come down! Â Â SQ Â It it can't be fixed with glue and sawdust - it's not worth fixing. Report
November 3, 201114 yr comment_38535 Â Even if you did get it cut out of there, it would be one heck of a challenge to cut and preserve to avoid cracking during drying. However, having said that, I'd love to give it a try. I'd also love to see a crosscut of all those different burls, Report
November 3, 201114 yr comment_38534 Do it at night and as Elmer Fudd says "Be vary vary quiet". Tell the course your from the Government office of diseased trees and in order to save the forest that tree must come down...for all we know there probably is a govt office like that. Tell them your the office Czar. Report
November 3, 201114 yr Author comment_38533 I am loving all of the suggestions. I would sure like to get my hands on that burl. I know a few people that work at the course and I think I am going to talk to them about it. At least get my name on the waiting list. If a storm were to happen to blow it down, I want to be there to get that part of it anyway. I'm not sure you can tell by the picture, but I would guess it is at least six feet across at the burl. That is a really big tree. John MoodyJohn Moody Woodworkshttp://www.johnmoodywoodworks.com Report
