Sometimes the risk pays off (wood gloat)

Mike Schwing from Md.

>When you buy a pallet load of maple burl sight unseen from some guy up in Oregon you don't know from Jack, you take a risk.

This is what was in the pallet I picked up at the loading dock this morning, 500 pounds of the nicest big leaf maple burl I've ever seen. Some of those suckers are huge. All are spectacular.

I can't promise to give away the source unless the guy who gave it to me says OK. email me.
