Burl Slab

This is a spalted Myrtle wood Birdseye slab a friend gave me.
Ran it through my planer, sanded it and wow!
3/4" x 15"

Nice! Looks more like spalted maple burl to me than myrtle though. You can easily tell by the wood smell esp when planning though.

If you want it to turn rich golden yellow over time, apply BLO (boiled linseed oil) on it.

Yep, looks like maple to me too. Here's two, both maple, one stained.

I stand corrected! Just spoke with the guy that gave me the Myrtle wood and Myrtle wood burls and he said this one is Maple!
