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.

Not sure I'll keep this new format because some people can't comment.  I noticed that if you click on the blog name up at the top, it seems to enable commenting???
