Hello!
As I understand it from Google, this thing that I've just sawn off a firewood log that I found at my friend's house is a burl. He thinks it's an Australian hardwood called Sheoak.
Anything in particular I should know about working with burl? Should I just take all the bark off and go from there as I would with any kind of wood? Any advice gratefully received...
p.s. I've not done anything like this before, so do correct me if it's not a burl!
p.p.s. I do not advise trying to saw through Sheoak with a hand saw.
