Box elder grows like a weed where I live. Pretty unsightly tree but that burl is gorgeous. I'll have to keep an eye out, never would've guessed that lurked inside one of those trees.
 
Thanks Trevitrace… that is cool it grows where you are.

If any of you have pics of a backwoods knife… lets all see them.
