I'm looking for some redwood burl to make a rosette. Have any of our sponsors got any please? Colin |

On that note, where do people get burl (any) stock from. In searching online and the local national stores, its always way too big, too small or little figure. |

The Woodcraft store near me has many burl blanks for turning bowls that are covered in wax and well preserved. I would think that one could resaw one of those into rosette sized blanks for real wood rosettes - no? |

There always seems to be some nice redwood burl on ebay. |

I have some chunks left over from a recent bass build. You would have to bookmatch it, but I can send you some if needed. |

Colin... I've got some I can spare... The photo shows one I did as a radial-cut rosette, but I have some large enough for a one-piece. Bob Long [img][/img] |

Thanks everyone for all of your kind offers and advice. Almost as soon as I posted I had PMs offering to send me some, (Isn't the OLF great!). I want to use it as the rosette in a redwood top, and now some is winging its way to me from the lone star state. It's really difficult trying to find any in the UK, I don't think that anything other than veneer makes it's way over here. Again many thanks for all your offers, it really is appreciated. Colin |
