Beech Burr Tray/Bowl

[Kepis]

Collected this small burr while i was out on a bimble with hugo & Rockmonkey earlier this week, it's been sat in a ziplock since i got it home, so with a couple of hours before the F1 from Spa started this morning, i attacked it with the tools

two hours later i had this, only tools used were a Mora 510 and a spoon knife, the wood being fresh cut (from a dying tree) was/is still very wet, but as is the nature of Burrs, it didnt make carving it any easier, due to the huge number of direction changes in the grain.

Like the spoons i made today, i just have to wait for it to dry out before i can get the finishing touches made to it.

That's gorgeous Kepis-can't wait to see how it looks when you've finished it.

That reminds me of the big beech burl that I gave you earlier in the year, same shape but much smaller, looks good.

cheers mate, should take long to dry as the sides were translucent in places when i forced myself to stop carving earlier

You are right it was birch, my forgetfulness raises it's head once again.
