Not that big, but it would still be interesting. I pulled some honey locust from our firewood pile a few years back and incorporated it into a desk. It has a fairly boring grain pattern, but I like the color a lot.

They are growths on a tree that causes swirl grains. You see the bumps on the tree in OPs picture? Those are burls.

I saw a bowl in Target that had fake burl wood. It's going mainstream.
