    Default Hello from canada.

    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?

    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.
