  Harvesting Red Gum Burl

 

 

The following pictures were taken in Queensland I believe, by loggers harvesting red gum burl.  Note the size difference in both the tree and burl as opposed to those in the previous page.  Some of these giant burls weigh more than the whole red morrel trees of Western Au.  A little water makes a huge difference!!

 Don't we wish all burls would grow this large and be as conveniently placed. 

Another large red gum burl ....not quiet as convenient as the one in the previous picture but not bad.

This one should be beautiful...it will weigh about a ton!!

Ready to be cut into table slabs...or maybe a lot of bottle stoppers.

This is the only way these monsters can be handled!

 

Another monster red gum....unbelievable. Look at the one above and to the right of the cutter.  

 

Finally this is what all of the work is for, a beautifully figured red gum burl slab.
