Burl is beautiful. A shame it is so difficult to work with.

That is just beautiful and awesome!

alekos557....Question

Not being a wood guy I had a thought and wondered if it work/be worth trying....I was thinking a thin stainless tube could be glued inside a drilled wood block, and then the wood turned down. My reasoning was that the ss tube could be threaded/etc, but also add rigidity to the wood tube allowing it to be turned pretty thin. Giving the benefits of a metal tube mod with awesome aesthetics of exotic wood.

Thoughts?
