Description
Years ago, when Roy did a brief stint operating a sawmill, he cut a large Douglas fir log that had a huge burl on it. He has been hoarding pieces of this burl for years, & pulls it out whenever he thinks it can add something special to the piece he's creating. The mottled appearance & orange color of the burl seem very flamelike. Very recently, Roy acquired a cherry burl that has similar qualities & created a new version of our original flame burl fireplace bellows This burl flame fireplace bellows is made from flame birch & cherry burl. We finish the wood with shellac, a finish that has been used for centuries. Like all of our bellows, the bag consists of 2-3 ounce leather, very supple & able to produce a strong draft. We build the bellows with a strong steel hinge (covered by the leather) for dependability & a long life. They come with a rawhide lace tied to the handle, making them easy to display. They measure approximately 20-1/4" long, 7-3/8" wide, 5" deep when open, & 2" deep when closed. Burl Flame Fireplace Bellows
