Hortises Burl
Australia is known in the turning world as producing some of the greatest burls in the world. Most of the burls come from the Eucalyptus Family which grows all over Australia. This is a great example of a "winged" bowl that I turn from an Australian Burl caps. I have a wide selection of Australian burls. So be sure and check my web site under bowls and platters for more pictures and examples.

Dec 25, 2013I couldn't be more impressed with Mr Nelson's response time, delivery time or the quality of the two ring dishes I received. I hope to work with him again soon.

Jul 3, 2017Bryan was great. very easy to work with. He sent specs and a drawing work up of the project before he got started. I knew we were on the same page and the results exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship he displays in his work is hard to find anymore. I will absolutely work with Bryan again in the future and I look forward to it.

Aug 16, 2013Bryan was great to work with. He custom made a coin dish for me. I didn't think something so simple could look so nice. From inception of the project to delivery was less than a week. Bryan kept me informed along the way with pictures of the project. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Bryan again.
