Is this burl worth the work?

I am in the process of removing the Box Elder stump shown in the attached photo. My question to this distinguished audience is does this look like something that, at least potentially, will produce blanks that are worth the effort?

I must say first I have no experience with box elder. That said I've opened many other hardwood burls and usually not been disappointed. Go for it

Like a box of chocolates... Very, very few chocolates have not been worth the effort to me. There are many plain timbers/blanks; give it a go!

One of my favorite blanks I've ever turned was flame box elder burl. No guarantee there's flame/red figure in that one, but only one way to find out!

I agree, my favorite pen is one I made from flame box elder...

Worth it? You won't know until you cut, dry and turn it.
My wife's favorite wood is flame box elder.
