You can sell wood burls through various online platforms such as Etsy, eBay, or Facebook Marketplace, where craft enthusiasts and woodworkers often seek unique materials. Local woodworking shops or craft fairs can also be great venues for selling burls directly to interested buyers. Additionally, specialty lumberyards or artisan galleries may be interested in purchasing or showcasing your wood burls.
A burler is a person who burls or who dresses cloth.
The value of wood burls can vary significantly based on factors such as species, size, quality, and market demand. High-quality burls from desirable species like walnut or maple can fetch prices ranging from $20 to several hundred dollars per board foot. Rare or exceptionally figured burls may even exceed these prices, especially in specialty markets. Always consult local resources or wood suppliers for the most accurate pricing in your area.
As a woodworker/woodturner, I have researched "Burls" for answers to many questions and was intrigued with what I found. Why and how a burl starts is a mystery to all, some and or many seem to think it starts by an injury or infection in the tree, some even think its a unformed mutated bud caught in the bark of the tree and the tree continues to grow around the bud encapsulating it, the unformed mutated bud germinates within the tree or limb causing the bud cells to devide and grow excessively and unevenly, thus creating random grain and micro-knots. Burls on limbs, branches, trunks, burls don't seem to be death causing but can weaken the tree to where other diseases can kill the tree. Others think, insects, viruses, fungi bacteria or fungous infection, stem disease, and mold infestation, there is much conjecture on the how's an why's of burls, to this date there is no definitive answer as to why and how. So to answer your question, if you have one or many, let them grow. If they don't know what causes burls, they certainly don't know how to encourage burls.
In Yukon, Canada, trees with burls can often be found in remote forested areas, particularly among species like birch, spruce, and aspen. Burls typically develop in response to stressors such as injury, disease, or environmental factors. Popular locations include areas along rivers and near old logging sites. Exploring hiking trails or wilderness areas may increase your chances of spotting these unique tree formations.

The big knobs on trees are known as burls. Burls are formed due to an abnormal growth in the tree's cells, usually in response to stress or injury. These growths can contain dormant buds that can sprout new branches if the tree is injured or cut down.

(adventitious - occurring by chance and not design, accidental, or abnormal) "The size of the reservoir was reduced by adventitious rockslides from the riverbank behind the dam." "Redwood burls are large adventitious buds that form on the trunks of the trees."
The wood of Pterocarpus indicus (in the Fabaceae family) is sold as Narra, and the burls of this species are sold as Amboyna (and if yellow, Maidou).Pterocarpus indicusThe term Narra can apply to several timber trees (padauk) in the genus Pterocarpus, notably Pterocarpus indicus.
