Default larger burls and chunks?

Another source for Burls is to keep an eye on eBay. From time to time
there are some offered there. Right now (Sunday evening0 there are
a bunch of Madrone and Maple burls - they may not be there by the time
you read this, but more may be offered.

William,

Your original post asked about burls....and as you know lots of trees are
available in the Denver area, but very few burls. One way to get large
pieces of burl is to come to the Symposium that is held in Loveland in
Sept or Oct each year. There are some vendors that come and have large
chunks of burl to sell. Another thing would be to join the RMWT or FRWT
and meet up with other turners who have different suppliers. I like to
turn burls myself, and rarely get anything locally. If you get lucky you
might find a russian olive burl!
