This is a lousy picture...( should I post full image ??). I am enjoying using burls lately. So much so I'm thinking of going with burl all the time. This one is Wild Almond. I do find that it grabs a bit...sometimes tears a bit, which I am sure is poor technique on my part..( Note the stand spindle is too thin.) And, the types I have use pit sometimes..you can see a pit in this handle...I filled it with medium CA...overall though, the result I get is more "eye popping" than straight grain. Any thoughts or suggestions...still learning.
