In the last week, a beautiful maple burl trunk has arrived, with great dimensions of 2.5 metres in length and 1.1 metres in diameter. It had not been freshly cut - it would be the wrong time. It had been lying around for a while, and was a little musty in some parts. But that is not intrinsically bad, as these parts are perfectly suitable for stabilising! The burl looks very good, at least from the outside.

It is already in the sawmill and will be cut the next day. I'm really curious to see what it looks like on the inside :) More pictures will follow.
