I just acquired a couple of pieces of red maple burl wood. It’s got a really nice figure to it and I think it’ll look great polished up. My concern is that with no uniform grain to speak of, that it’ll work funny and I’ll end up messing it up.

I’ve never worked with burl wood of any kind, and figured with all the talent on the board, someone might have.

So here’s my question: Any one done any work with it before? If so, anything in particular I should look out for?

Thanks in advance.
