Additional Information: Myrtle is a deciduous tree native to the Pacific Northwest. The tree grows large and is a strong dense wood used in gun stocks and musical instruments. The tree occasionally produces a burl that makes a growth in which the grain is radically deformed because of some stress or damage and makes small Birdseye knots and swirly figure. The Myrtle Burl I use in my knives comes from Oregon and has lots of Birdseye.

Redwoods are the tallest living trees on earth. In the mid 1800’s logging operations took place in Northern California, where these trees grow, leaving behind a bunch of stumps that were deemed unusable. These stumps are now being salvaged. Most of this salvaged wood has been dried over a hundred years. The stumps often have burl in which the grain is radically deformed because of some stress or damage and makes small birdseye knots. This burl wood has an amazing amount of figured birdseye-- probably some of the highest concentration of birdseye in any wood in the world. This particular piece complements the Myrtle Burl nicely.
