Ginger Nut:
Sons 38th birthday Friday and he mentioned he'd like a weather station.

This is Mallee Burl with 2 1/2" Bezels showing both sides in use. It free stands on the desk.

SwarfnStuff:
Nice job Ginger,
       I was going to ask what part of the Mallee the burl came from because I get up around the Swan Hill area every two years or so. (My wife's old stomping ground.)
       Doesn't really matter, it's a good piece of burl anyway and the job looks great.

Congrats,
John B

Ginger Nut:
Sorry for delay in replying. The burl slice was just as is when I bought it cost about $10 so no idea which sectional cut it was. If you find some make sure you post pics. I have been using some nice Coolabah burl also.

Pete49:
The mallee burl is usually a section of the mallee root. Its a superior timber for firewood here and I usually went through the firewood pile for my best pieces. Alas no need for a fire in this modern world so I resort to buying it. :(

SwarfnStuff:
Yeah does burn well and long. I've also seen it used for fencing off the house paddock it was so plentiful on the wife's cousin's property. Bit like the stone dry walls in Victoria's western district among others.
