Sadly Chris some of the more interesting pieces of wood are just a bit too soft for the daily wear and tear of using for a knife handle. A burl has hard and soft areas in it and would wear unevenly. Look at how hard a knot in a piece of pine is and that will give you an idea of the qualities of a burl in wood.
