How To Identify Figure In A Living Tree 

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making it

Thank you for this video. I picked up a tip concerning the X pattern bark!

It might be good to point out there's a pretty substantial fine for cutting Burl's on public property, highly illegal here in Washington State

Great education. Well done and thank you!

Very informative and educational. Thanks!

Informative and interesting...thanks! I'll be walking my woods looking for these signs over the next week.

So cool!

thanks, but I expected you say about curl and flame, since burl is known well for wood workers and very obvious signs it has, but curly woods are harder to identify,

Great info, thanks

Great information! Perhaps you can judge a tree by it's cover.

How close to the ground will you cut when you fell those trees? Will you dig up the stump and use any of that wood?

That's a huge piece, what kinds of woods should I look for in Kansas

You don't have to worry about the direction you cut it? How about birds eye? I'm new to turning and trying to figure out how to make cuts, and lots of people talk about birdseye maple and other woods, I've seen one guy sort of explain it, seems to be self explanatory--from a birds perspective, but does that mean that the side with the most surface is facing up if the tree was still growing? So you wouldn't want to cut it at an angle at all, just block it up either into equal cubes or if you're doing platters and bowls make the long cuts horizontally. Sorry for the ramble, just trying to figure this out.

so cool... over a 100 years old

great but very short

Isnt it true that birls have ALLthe grains? End, side, face...

Just got a question , I live in New Brunswick Canada on the Miramichi .and I have a few big wood lots and 1 is 357 acres, not a big piece of ground,but it's old growth hardwood ridge.and I select cut my curly , birdseye and veneers. But someone went through and knocked out a piece of bark about 6x6 inches on alot of my dollar sticks. I was told that I have to cut them now ,because it will make the wood heal like litterly like an asshole , thus making it firewood .is that true?

So......? lets see it!

I remember at my friends house as a kid the had this big tree with what we all thought was a giant pimple on the side. Can you cut the burl off a tree with out cutting it down?

How much is it worth?

What regions of the United States can you find burlwood. I'm from Louisiana and always in the woods but have never seen a tree with burl growth.

Do you know how to identify a dogwood tree? By its bark. Horrible tree joke of the day.

thx

It's funny how much people love burl, but most people don't realize it's tree cancer.

How do trees access the internet? They log on... Did you know that I can cut down a dead tree just by looking at it?! Its true! I saw it with my own eyes!

Thanks! Im going to go and cut me down some trees on private and government property.

I made it too. Want to know how ? just go to wood prix webpage.

what's with the crazy annoying music in the back ground? ever been in a class room?

All talk, no proof.

Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
