Ji-ita_A wood slab_part 2
Another great day in woodlands. A round tour to pay a visit to "my" trees that I keep in mind as a potential objects for collection. The summer this year was quite friendly in terms of the amount of rainfall so all the trees were reasonably OK.
Just a small appetizer. A small Prunus mahaleb - a possible shohin
Then on the way home I have found a burl on a fallen willow tree. Not a very big one but the size for me is almost perfect taking into account I use a manual foxtail saw for cutting the slabs.
Hardly can wait to harvest this one on my next trip to this area.

NOW. WHERE ARE THE SLABS???
OK. Here we go.

| A burl _willow_possibly healed remains of the broken branch? |
Hardly can wait to harvest this one on my next trip to this area.
In the meantime please find a few shots - burls and a slab in making - before the final coating

Suvel: a tumor like swelling caused by a strees - disease, insect or fungi
