I read about all of these wonderful burls that people find and in the year that I have been turning I have looked around this area constantly for burls with no joy. I have a couple of tree trimmers looking for them - no joy. My Mom owns about 90 acres of woods and while I have not surveyed all 90 where I have been - you guessed it - no joy.
Is the bacteria or whatever causes these beautiful aberrations regional?
