Default spruce burl work in progress done

Thanks Kevin
The trick with the bark inclusions is to get a burl that has formed on the
branch. I find the trunk burls on spruce, although larger, have little grain
development, bark inclusions, or other enhancements. The change when the
finish hits the spruce bark and the rich chocolate brown pops out is quite
dramatic. There is another one on the way. I will try to get some pages up
soon.

I finally got the pictures of the spruce burl vase/hollow form up on the
site. Any criticisms are welcome although I reserve the right to disagree
even when you are right.
