New to woodturning. Just receiving a shipment of au burls. Very expensive up here. $4,000 for 25 . Must be nice to have them in your back yard.

Welcome Lefley. I'm in McBride, an hour+ west of Jasper. Not much burl here any more.
Supposed to be worth a look around Quesnel Lake.
Where do you hang your hat?

You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
There is a top mob in the toymaking and model making section of the forum, so please post your toys.
Enjoy the forum.

Hi Lefley, I've been to BC a few times and just love how wild and beautiful it is. I have a mate there who used to mill timber at the Vancouver City Council log dump on the shores of English Bay (Spanish Banks Beach Park) - I also know someone in Williams Lake. I've also had a hankering to go and do a woodwork course at Robert's Creek.
Talking about Burls I have a Sheoak Burl on my drive way that I should cut up and do something with.

Welcome mate.
Burl? I drive past trees with burl every day and have a mate who drops trees for a living, I get free wood to burn or turn. I count myself very lucky.
