..Kev Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Welcome to the forums.. I assume those are of the "legally cut" variety.. I know there's been a lot of that theft over the last several years. Look forward to seeing some cool stuff made with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Welcome! I'm eager to see what comes of those roots, also. In my area, roots of any size are very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Nice.... does wood from roots usually get used differently for furniture, like how wood from branches is avoided, or can it be used like wood from the trunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Briar rootballs are used to make pipe bowls. Some Burl is from graft union at ground level & below. Root and branch wood can be used but not usually as normal planked boards are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
