I bought a blank of Vitica Burl yesterday and I am trying to find some info on this wood. Anyone heard of this wood and have a scientific name or another common name for this wood species? I like to give some a small sheet of info on each wood, but I have struck out finding any info on this wood.
I have found that it sometimes is called Vitica Arborea Burl.
Thanks,

My limited research only yielded that it comes from Laos according to one site, and Africa according to another. The pix of it are nice, though!

Sorry for the delay, the scan of the blank is not very good. I will try to turn the blank next week and show an image of the finished pen.
