PORTRAITS
A burl is an outgrowth on a tree trunk or a branch. This burl was found in John Murray’s lot from « en haut du Ruisseau ». Oscar, my son, saw the burl in St-Joseph (Memramcook) at “Roméo à Blair”'s place who got it from Guy Dupuis, a lumber jack. I paid $100 for the burl. It measured 13 feet all around and 4 feet across. The wood is Yellow Birch. The Brunswick Crane was driven by Léopold Gaudet. He brought the burl to my place.
The burl stayed outside my garage for one whole year. On April 5th 2001, I decided to do something with the burl… So, my brother Jimmy brought the burl in the shop with his tractor. But now, what to do now ?
