Oak burl bow - 6 inches by 3 inches (15 cm.x7.5 cm). Someone bought this at a show the first day it was available.

Is a Burl harder to turn than normal wood?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Burl can break apart more easily because bark inclusions are often a problem. So that makes it more difficult sometimes. The wood is not really any harder or softer than other wood.

The grain is absolutely gorgeous.
