Manzanita Burl, pen blanks, casting wood, knife scales, slabs and whole burl.... For you guys who haven't had opportunity to work with manzanita, it is famous/infamous for drying checks, voids, rocks, dirt....you get the idea. But..in my opinion, it has some of the prettiest wood color and figure that exists. Sooo, when/if you get a piece, it may have any of the above characteristics. If you want one or two, shoot me a note using the "contact" box at the bottom of this page and I'll get right back to you.
Sometimes I list a few of the below burl on ebay so they are subject to not being available if there is a bid. Otherwise, they're here for the takin' .............

Hey Guys, the "new" burl posted below, numbers from MZ115 to MZ120 all came from the same large burl. This large burl died in the ground and was partially buried years as it dried/sap turned white/a little rot of the sapwood, etc. No ants had moved in as is typical of old manzanita. The slow drying is what kept this one from major checking as is common in most burl. You Man. guys will recognize that this is top quality wood that could be used for calls, knife scales or blocks, pen blanks, all the good stuff....not that there's any "bad" manz.....just depends on what you're buildin'....I love stopper blocks with cracks filled with turquoise......Manzanita is all pretty. BTW, if you've looked for manzanita burl knife handles or scales, you know there's not a whole lot to pic from on line. PIcs were taken in sunlight and misted. No help from PhotoShop or ?......
