I love the burl in the middle.
I guess that's worth some
good money to bowl makers...
I've heard from a wood worker.

The burl is about 200 years old. It was growing out of the roots of an ancient growth fir (stump #1) It's 2 ft in diameter and 3 feet tall. You could make a lot of bowls and clocks and things, but I think it's best use is yard art in the dream garden....

That burl reminds me of the ship in the first "Alien" movie.

Bill,
I agree with you about leaving it as it!!
I'm one of those people that say leave it there.
But I have seen those bowls and what can be done to them can be equally as beautiful!!!
In the hands of a sculpture, it's beautiful.

But it is a gorgeous yard art too!
