Manzanita Burl Handle

This is a Manzanita Burl handle on a Gentlemen's drop Point. The bolster is Cherry Burl. Manzanita is a hard dense wood--stabilization probably has little or no effect on it. The wood is very dark and it is difficult to see the high figure pattern in it. Does make a good complementary dark wood-- especially for bolsters. This wood came from around the sierra foothills in California.
