Oak burr

Every year I do a Folk festival at Hatfield House. The place is full of oak trees like this one with burrs that beggar belief. This is just one of them.

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

that looks like the trees you get in windsor great park if you know where to look. they are knocking on the door of a thousand years old.


it looks as though it's a mixture of proper burrs and collapsed growth as the tree has got older. gives for some stunning swirly gran when quartersawn.
