This blog never shies away from oddities that involve our home town and this one is one of nature's own imperfections. As the article states, the wood from such burls is highly prized and creates swirling designs that fetch considerable sums when fashioned into coffee tables and the like. I wonder if he eventually did something with it besides just looking at it.
Excellent article. I remember Mr. Mason. We would buy worms from him. He had worm beds in the yard with large wooden covers flush with the ground. I loved going there and seeing all his stuff. He had a huge arrowhead collection that is now housed at Doty Cabin.
