Now that we are talking about Ivory Stanaback specials......anybody have one in elephant or Walrus?

One more to look at not mine......at least not yet.

I believe it to be Chittum Burl which comes from the American Chittum or Smoke Tree. It only grows in limestone and is said to be only obtainable by chiseling or dynamiting the limestone. Picked this up at my first Blades Show in like.. 2011 or 2012. But.... Been wrong before!

LOL probably right my English isn't so good!

Actually, as a graduate forester, I am very familiar with the Chittum tree. The name came from the Chitt Indians, who didn't give a chit about much, especially the Chittum tree, thus it became a rare wood. Now you know.

Chief,

Both awesome scrim!

Great idea for my slab side Stanaback Special; thinking a Mount Rushmore scrim.

Very nice y'all.

That Chittum looks alot like Thuya Burl.

I have always ordered it from my suppliers and they have had it listed as "Cheatham Briar", spelled exactly like this and I don't know if we are talking about the same wood or not. Chief's matching blocks I am using looks similar to my Cheatham only his has been dyed. Per chance, they are 2 separate items?
Best, Capt. Chris

Cheatham Briar doesn't exist according to Google. No returns on search.
