Cutting a Cherry burl

Post by pipesmoker70 »

I have a nice size cherry burl that has been drying a few years. Any particular way I should cut it for making pipes?

I would cut the burl in half with the cut parallel to the grain running from the center to the pins
then try and cut your blocks running with the grain
