A very rare burl


This is a piece of California Lilac burl. This set is 10" x 5". It is very stable, dense, and cuts like Madrone. It smells like "Fruit Loops" the breakfast cereal(at least from my recollection of what Fruit loops smelt like?). I wish I had a stash of this wood. I believe I turned my first piece of this when I was a California resident 20 years ago. The wild Lilac grows through most of the foothills in California. It is a beautiful site and smell when they bloom in the spring.
