Title: Alaskan Yellow Cedar Burl with Braz Rosewood Insert
Post by: Henry H on August 21, 2014, 07:38:37 PM

The barrel was stabilized by Mel at Wood Dynamics, and finished with CA.  The insert was simply polished and waxed.  This one is for a close family friend.

Yup.  And my plaid shirts.  And because you won't make a reelfoot.  Three strikes.  I was just waiting for someone like Phil to come along.

Thanks for the compliments!

David, I don't really know the market because I generally don't make calls for sale.  One I made like it raised $450 at a silent auction, but whether that is indicative of market price I don't know.  Maybe a couple hundred?
