Learning 29: Burl Treen
Herald Times made my life pretty easy today with their story about a guy who creates burl treen. I got super excited when I read that because I knew learning was about to happen. Come to find out, a burl is one of those bumps you see coming out of a tree sometimes. They happen when the tree has an infection or is damaged in some way. Treen refers to small functional objects made out of wood: a bowl, a fork, a shoehorn.

Poor Kevin!!! Yikes.
This is sort of weird because I just learned what a burl was this summer. KVDS has a friend whose husband's nickname for this friend and it's Burl. He never would tell us why he called her that and when the ranger told us about burls I figured it out!
