Weird Wood!

Found this wood shelf (?) while processing some logs At first I thought there was a fungus among us! After further observation, it appears to be made of

It is a shelf fungus. I find them a lot on locust.

 

Is that Locust? I wasn’t sure what it was haha
.... Lissa

 

There’s no fungi among I!
Lol ~Lissa

 

Ok, it's a polypore then.
I'm guessing the round is upside down or bottom up.

 

That's pretty cool!! Thanks for sharing, is that BL?

 

Some people have the talent to turn them into art. Myself, I would just date it and scratch in where it was found/what we were doing/the occasion etc.

 

yooperdave Wow! We actually have a guy wanting to buy it and a burl we found in the same batch of logs, he’s just starting out with woodwork, still on a small scale. The burl isn’t huge, about the size of a tire rim for a car, kinda, sorta..loll

I’m actually not sure, but according to farmer steve , it’s possible! Maybe someone can help figure that out??? I’m so excited!!! ~ Lissa!

 

Here’s a pic of the burl, I didn’t do it justice tho.... ~Lissa (P.S.... is this a real burl? lol)

 

only BL photos i have on file. compare the bark to yours Nick&Lissa

 

Yep that sure looks like the same wood to me! ~Lissa

 

Those fungus are called conchs here in the PNW. Nice ones are in demand by artists and wood workers, especially with bark attached. I used to do some pen and ink sketches on some we would find hunting and even sold a few. Cool that someone wants to buy them and the burl! What a nice plus to the firewood!

 

More Weird Wood! It’s not a burl, is it? Lol
