Here's a view of some of the ground where I gather my burl......it ain't all this flat. : )
MZ106 $40.00 plus $17.60 to ship = $57.60 plus shipping. Manzanita bookmatched burl pair. These came into being when I was having trouble shipping sizes larger than the typical medium flat rate box. I can fudge a little with a 5 1/2 to 6" tall burl with those. Over 6" makes too much work so I made what ya see below, hoping the casting guys can use 'em. These will fit frb's so shipping is usually cheaper. Looks like resin cast "pairs" of something might be interesting...........guess I'll find out. : ) These are very dry. Voids/cracks/holes made by the carpenter ants are hollow and easily cleaned by my pressure washer. Dry and misted pics show them pretty well. Happy to answer questions but the first "I'll take it" gets it. Questions can tie up a sale if the questioner is slow." : )
Extra pieces in pics not included. ; )

Look for the black line and see how it parallels the black crack. That whole chunk from the line up to where it's really thin does move/wiggle a bit. I'm sure you resin guys could fix that but I just wanted to let you know.

It never fails guys, a new bandsaw blade is a rock/nail/anything hard magnet....I'm sure many of you would agree. I dulled a fair bandsaw blade on his piece. Put a brand new one on and cut in a different place. Managed to dead center the rock in the pic. I love/hate manzanita. ; )
Random pics of my "day job" and gathering burl as I go. Sort of the best of both worlds.

Here's what can happen when playing with manzanita......it ain't pretty. A fairly new bandsaw blade passed from this life to where ever old blades go. Gray volcanic rock, very hard, wins every time. Was gonna try and wear my way through the cut...didn't happen.
Hey guys, here's what manzanita burl looks like after a fire and after being mauled by me a bit. Lots of work between now and a pen blank. I did get this one home...weighed about 40 lbs.
Here are a few little pieces I turned out of some gnarly, void filled, burned, ant hole ridden, (you get the idea) chunks of manzanita. There is some beautiful color and turnings that come out of that stuff. I'm gonna try and get a few chunks posted here before too long....thinking about 5 bucks per piece. Takes a lot of time/effort to get a big manz. whacked into submission. ; )
Hi guys....a little project to show what's inside those ugly little burned manzanita burls. : ) I love that stuff. Very few burls have the fire you'll find in manzanita. The turning is just a "rounded" thing....not exactly sure what to call it other than it has a depression in the top....not a bowl/cup/hollow form....just a depression. Bottom pic shows the tool I used to make the "texturing".....a great tool mounted on an angle grinder. It's made by Sir Lancelot....14 tooth replaceable round ground chain. Easy to sharpen....I do that a lot on manzanita. A chore but worth it. I'm just posting this for informational purposes, maybe you'd like to give the burned stuff a try. Got a few above that are partially burned.
If you'd like to buy any of the above, fill out the Contact Form below with your preference and I'll be in touch. Paypal, credit card...all good. Thank you.
