Title: Harvested Some Maple Burl
Post by: Stoned on February 22, 2016, 10:08:39 AM

Few photos of hunting for burl wood; I saw this Maple tree back in 2013 while deer hunting in Tennessee.  My friend and his son harvested the burl for me and the other day I had the opportunity to have it sliced into slabs. Had a few voids (expected in burl wood); the grain of the wood is very pretty. I should be able to get several turkey calls out of the wood.

I do not believe so, I think it is Maple.
