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' .............
