I found a burl on the stump of an oak that has been cut for 5-6 years. If I take it off what are the chances that it is good? What should I do with it? Should I slice it up? Will it need dried like any other wood?
How do I take care of a burl?

In that much time the fungi and other microbes have probably found it too, and are well on the way to recycling it. Unless the stump sprouted and is still alive.
Chainsaw it off and have a look.
It does need to be dried. You could slice it up but I'd use it for turning.
