I'm guessing Thistle is thinking the burl is on a limb, not the main trunk. Obviously some damage must occur, but if on a limb, the main tree can be saved. Cheers!

It is a long, long process to do it right and consistantly. Custom woodworkers that turn them on a lathe will dip them in parafin wax so that most of it cannot release moisture and it takes years.
