[QUOTE="taharris, post: 236238, member: 2074"] If you just pile them up inside they will crack badly as they dry and end up worthless. They are worth a lot more to a turner wet. First, they are easier to turn wet and, second, after rough turning they will dry better and be less prone to cracking. Your best bet for preserving a burl after cutting is to leave as much bark on as possible and put a very heavy coat of latex paint on the cut side. Better yet, you can get a product made specifically for this to apply to the cut side. It is basically a water based wax emulsion. If you save some burls for me I will turn you a bowl from one.
