OK, can I get ed-gee-cated???

It looks like a spot where a limb was removed, years ago and it has grown over. Will this create a burl? Am I dead wrong, there was never a limb there? Can I prune trees and hope for a burl in a decade?

I think I'm going to cut it off, dry it, and see what it looks like inside. If it's anything interesting, I'll make a pen and post more pix.:)
