I heard about the symposium last year the day before it was held but
had another commitment.

This weekend I contacted two tree service companies and visited them.
One gave me several
logs of trash siberian elm of a size that my little electric chainsaw
could still cut up. The other
wood they had was too old and cracked but I talked to the owner. Later
I turned a bowl
from the elm and it looks fairly good. I'm thinking of giving the first
bowl to them when I go
back

The other tree sevice was a real small operation but closer to my
house. I might be able to
get some stuff from them later.

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!
