>Just picked up these two myrtle logs...chock full of burls. They are about 28"D and each 4'L.
I figure I'll be doing some serious cutting up this weekend!!

>I just happened to be going by my "spot" and he had this log sitting there waiting for me. He showed me some of the veneers they cut from the logs and the burled stuff was awesome. I can't wait to cut some of this open.....Plan a trip to Indy soon, Mr. Skaggs....I have a feeling that a piece or 2 may find it's way into your trunk!!

>I agree with Thomas. I think all the worry and hassle involved in the decision making process would be detrimental to your health. Therefore you should pass the agravation on to us. John

>Hi Kurt,
Great stuff!! Myrtle is one of my favorite woods to turn. It takes a great polish and the curl/burl figure can often be really spectacular. The pieces I've done have often had some neat dark streaks in it as well. If you've never turned myrtle before, you are in for a treat. Or looking at the sizes of those logs, I'd say you are in for quite a few treats!!!
Enjoy the wood!
Mike
No myrtle growing in Apex, NC :(
