No problem. But that IS a gorgeous finish.

100% agreement!

Nature is awesome.

Except for ockra. There is no reason for that.

Burl is truely amazing stuff. I have found a few other woods that have similarly unique grain patterns and/or reveal an unusual beauty when finished...but none come close to what actual burl can produce. *Disclaimer, it is possible the "other woods" that I have seen and worked with where actually some form of burl, i purchased smaller chunks for specific projects and did so purely based on the images I saw without knowing much about the source.

Weird to take that stance on a band. But not sure what it has to do with nature.

I wonder if a handle could be made with the wood retaining more of its vibrant orangish-red hue before being dried and cut

I'm with you, Chris! There's nothing quite like it.
