Who are the Bad Dogs?
Kuma, Kriscoe, and the leader of the pack is ROB!

Kuma and Kriscoe are really "wonderful" dogs, and we suspect will be even more wonderful once they turn two! 

 
Kriscoe caught in the act.

BUT ... when they're good they're very good!  :-)
 













 

 

 


























 



Bad Dogs Burl Source strives to be your top choice for great burls of all sizes and shapes.  Let us help you find what you are looking for.

Who is behind the Bad Dogs Burl Source?
As of Febuary 2008, we acquired Skip Bellock's (of Utah) burl inventory as well as some of his knowledge which has been invaluable to us.  After back surgery, Skip had to give up selling burls but he will continue to create beautiful art work.  A link to his gallery can be found under Quick Links.  So, if some pictures on our web site look familiar, they should, they were transferred from his site.  We strive to provide the same great service and selection of burls as Skip did.  

Who is "we"?  I am Robert Doyle, my wife is Donna, and our two bad dogs get top billing after 4 remotes, a key board, a footrest, several shoes, etc ....   Our home and business are located in eastern Oregon.  We are working directly with suppliers overseas as well as here in the USA to provide high quality burls and woods.  We plan to specialize in Australia as well as Pacific Northwest species.  Our goal is to deal in volume so that we can provide burls to you at a great price with shipments arriving routinely so that our supplies never go stale.

Our Policy of Service:
Customer satisfaction is our foremost concern as is providing quality burls.  We will make every effort to ship your order as expeditiously as possible and in a manner that minimizes damage.  The web site will be routinely updated so that it remains current with all the latest material.  If you are looking for something special, let us know and if we don't have it, we'll try and help you find it or specifically request it in our next order.

If a particular piece is no longer available, we will offer to substitute a similar piece but only upon your approval.  We will be happy to answer any questions (to the best of our ability).  If you phone and get voice mail, please leave a message and we will call you back.

Burls:
All burls are sold as pictured, which is debarked, green - partially air dried unless stated otherwise.  Burls coming from Australia, as a requirement of our import permit, have been fumigated.  We offer turning burls and blanks as well as carvers.  Don't let "ugly" faced burls scare you away as they can turn into masterpieces. 

Burls are sold based on their original green weight with the bark still on.  Weight loss from harvest weight to debarked and dry can vary greatly.  Some burls, even within the same species have a thicker, more resinous bark, so that two specimens of the same harvest weight could differ markedly in weight after debarking.  Burl shape also affects the bark to weight ratio.  Some burls have more sapwood (which contains more moisture) on the edge and can lose more weight when drying.  Most burls, particularly Australian burls, are sold to us based on the original harvest weight and the only realistic means is to use the same figure throughout the sale process eliminating all these variables. 


How to Order:
E-mail us at burls@customwoodart.net or call 541-573-7824 to place your order.  Once calculated, you will be informed of the shipping costs prior to shipping.  We accept VisaMastercard, Discovery , and PayPal .
