Not a bad idea at all, hmm, what are the does and don'ts of cutting a burl and storing it apart from not letting the white ants get to it

Yellow box burl
Cutting off a burl doesn't kill the tree unless you ring bark the tree. It looks pretty large with respect to the circumference, but it could be just the photo, my own rule is not more than 20% (but it is pure gut feel). If ok slice away, otherwise you can take a partial slice, waiting time for the tree to heal to wound. Seal the cut face of the slice off portion, using end sealer or PVA (I don't like paint or similar), trying not to let the sealer run down into any crevices (I use roller).Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new
