I asked that question a long time ago in Rdwd Nat'l Park in the museum. They told me it does not. Also, the burl wood is beautifully grained and very expensive. Awful people will find a burl, even in a park, and come back with a chainsaw and saw it off. Even that doesn't kill the tree. If they get caught, the penalties are draconian, but I'd just saw of one of their arms with a dull chainsaw and no bar oil.
I don't understand your advice about where and how to post. I'll get it eventually. Rich
