Hello turners,
I received this oddly shaped Maple Burl and would love some advice on an approach to making something nice with this burl. I have never turned a burl before, but this one is oddly shaped. Should I keep that leg on the blank and just turn a bowl type piece? Or cut the leg off and make a couple pen blanks and have a more symmetrical bowl blank? Thank you in advance for any insight and suggestions.
