Manzanita?

[tharp]

okay, this may seem stupid, but I have a small manzanita that needs to come down because of power line easement. Do you think it's worth keeping for turning pens? I know that people use the roots & the burls, but what about the plain old wood itself? Does it have good grain (enough to bother with) Thanks

Save all you can.[]

Turn what you want.[8D]

And offer the rest to your friends at IAP. []

YES....I turned a Manzanita Burl blank and it turned out extremely nice!

Thanks for the input.
Remember, this is not burl or root. Just the plain wood.
I guess I'll resaw it and sticker it and see how it looks.
Does it crack a lot as it dries?
Thanks again,
Tom

BTW,
I did search through lots of user photos and only saw BURL wood.
Does anyone have a photo of the regular manzanita?
