 This is how I purchase most of my burl, in slab form, by the pallet load. This allows me to cut around the flaws that are throughout the wood. If you look closely at the top pieces, you will note the giant holes and bark inclusions in the wood. There is at least 50% waste in most burl, only the choicest cuts get to be made into calls!
This burl has been air drying in my shop for over 2 years, It is just now ready to start working with.
