Trying to post pictures for the first time. These are Myrtlewood Burl two-piece blanks that I have had drying for three years. Myrtle burl pins are much larger than Maple and Walnut, therefore much more dramatic in appearance. For those not familiar with Myrtlewood, it is an evergreen hardwood which grows only in northern California and southern Oregon within about a fifty mile range of the coast. Very dense wood with working characteristics a lot like the finest English Walnut. The shimmer in Myrtlewood is unique among gunstock woods and finishes with a deep mirror quality that is a real show stopper.
Enjoy, Mike Mann
