57 is for arbutus firewood, so you may be able to get some interesting
pieces...

I'm not positive, but I don't think they have anything that you can't
get here in Oregon, mainly alder, madrone, big leaf maple, and some
myrtle.

Surely Reed, they have this :-))) (see below), and you can't get that
in Oregon.

Bob, don't bother, between the exchange rate, that all the native wood
there is the same as at home and border restrictions... like you can't
take wood with any bark on it EITHER way across the border. Most
inspectors just don't allow any fire wood (which is what they would call
it) period. Plus the US as tarifs on importing wood (see the disputes
between the US and Canada on this matter)

Leo,
Not sure what species it is, or how big it is, but I have seen BLM,
burls that could barely fit on a flat bed truck, and other fir,
Madrone, and myrtle ones that are bigger than I can turn.

Yes, but it is hard to come by anything of size, or that is clear.
Other than when it was being harvested for its bark (for taxol for
cancer treatment) it has been considered a wood with little comercial
value. Heavy sigh!!!!! It is beautiful and is wonderful to work with.

Hi Reed

This is what I have to go with it, and Yes I have seen pictures of
some large burls that got posted now and then over the years.

These are very big

There are two burls there apparently, smaller one is 45 feet
circumference, and the newer bigger one is over 60 feet in
circumference.

See the two Largest Burls in the World in Port McNeill. The first burl
to be called the world's biggest burl was cut from the base of a 351-
year-old Sitka Spruce tree in 1976. The burl weighs an estimated 22
tons and measures 45 feet in circumference. The new contender for the
title was carved off a tall Sitka Spruce tree near Holberg on northern
Vancouver Island in winter 2005. At 6 metres tall, 6 metres in
diameter, and weighing an estimated 30 tons, the burl is located in a
waterfront park next to downtown Port McNeill. Burls are naturally
occurring abnormal formations that develop when extra cells grow on a
tree. Small burls are used to make attractive table tops and clocks.

Well, I have to admit that is pretty impressive. Don't imagine that
they would let me whittle on it a bit. Sigh!!!!

Leo,
That's why I don't leave the country.

Oh, wait a second, did you mean they wouldn't let me back with the wood
.... or just not let me back at all?
