Jarrah Burl

Another great Australian burl, Jarrah, a species of Eucalyptus unique to the south west of Western Australia, is a spectacular hardwood known for its remarkable durability, extreme density and warm, rich colors. Its distinctive blend of beauty and practicality lends it to use for both elegant furniture and innovative construction. Jarrah is an excellent choice for everything from tables and desks, to countertops and cabinets to headboards and doors. Jarrah trees are also unusual in that they have a lignotuber, a large underground swelling which stores carbohydrates and allows young trees to regenerate after a fire. Because they are deep-rooted, as much as 40 meters (130 ft), jarrah trees are drought resistant and able to draw water from great depths during dry periods. Be sure and check my web site under bowls and platters for more pictures and examples.

I'm a self taught woodworker/turner. The past few years my main focus has been in wood turning. I've sold thousands of pieces in every continent in the world, from simple dishes to elaborate hollow lidded vessels. In my work I have used many different types of domestic and exotic woods of which I have over a hundred different types in my shop.

    Bryan 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.
