What to do with this?
« on: November 07, 2012, 01:32:47 pm »
I found this in a shed that was being cleaned out. I think it is a burl, but not sure what type of wood it is. Each knob is about 6 inches in diameter.  Any suggestions?

I'd guess it's a softwood, and with my limited exposure, scots pine, or similar.

The most common tree in these parts is spruce. It is light in weight. the bark is very flakey and I don't know how long it was laying in the guys shed. I suspect spruce or pine.

My first thoughts as well. I would like to keep them intact. Would I slice off the front and back portions, What would I put into each one. The possibilities are endless.  :-\ :-\ ::)  suggestions please.

Looks a little like a barbell.  If you can find another, you would have a matching set to work out with?

ROF-LOL I would keep them as they are. That way you will have a set when your spouse takes yours ;D
Some friends gave me a small bag with small bearings in it. FRIENDS ::)
