The burl suprised me, in that it actual planed with very tearout. I used my small bevel up smoother, with a very light cut and a very sharp blade with the mouth closed quite tight. I finished it off with a cabinet scraper and a light sanding. There are a couple of small bark inclusions, but that adds a bit of visual interest.
I finished both of them with 3 coats of Tried and True varnish oil, topped with paste wax. I wanted to contrast the burl, so I buffed it with a hard carnuba wax for a high gloss.
