Thanks George, I've been doing that for years. Actually got a 40# box of
burl scraps that Bob Rosand was throwing into the fire. Lots of great stuff
there.

Thanks M for a good post full of useful information. No clubs in my
area. I had already found that the eclectic lapidary but was trying to be
too cheap (as usual for a Pennsylvania Dutchman). I knew it was a far
fetched idea but thought I'd ask any way.

Save those small chunks of burl or weird figure you find around knots, or
even the knots themselves and make cabochons out of them. Really dress up
the lid of a box. They turn well on the lathe.
