Look what I found!

So last night I was roving on Craig's List and stumbled across a gem. I called up the guy (near the Wisconsin border) and after a couple of hours I was driving through the country side with a heavy load in my SUV. I had found a 200 lb white oak burl for $100. Now I just need to find a good chainsaw... ;) If the blocks come out well would anyone here be interested in grabbing some? I've never seen oak burl before so I'm not sure how it will look...any ideas?

 
Very cool find.
If you look around here at KD in Mark Farley's Burl forum he has a thread on what to do with a specimen like that.
I would suggest reading it if you have never cut up a burl like that for knife handles?

Processing it correctly will greatly determine your yield out of that beauty.

Sure! I would love a block or two!
