I posted last week about some manzanita that i had received. Here is a piece of some of it along with what I did with it. I know it is a bad picture, but I think The wood is fun to work.
Turns nice and sands well.
If you have more of it in that 3-4 inch size , you could do some very nice bud vases . The combination of weathered wood versus the red would look great . 1 1/2 -2 inch would be nice for S$P shakers .
