My uncle collected burls in Norhtern Michigan and Canada carved duck decoys out of them. He looked for burls that had a natural look for the wings of the ducks. He also carved some beautiful gun stocks with burls. They come in different sizes. If I recall he said they are the part of the tree where the stump is located and the roots take off. I imagine you will find burls in the limbs where they grow out of the trunk.
