Anyone know where to get chittum burl wood

[blgoode]

I have a customer in Europe that needs some.....

 

[Raymond Richard]

Not sure about finding the burl but here's some chittum: http://www.gilmerwood.com/photo html/Chittumphoto.htm Believe it even grows around here also could be on my property but have no idea what it looks like. No chittum.....

Doesn't it look like Osage Orange???

Same here Brian. All I could find was the wood. You can do a Google search and a knife with some of the burl pops up. Maybe contact that guy. I think it may also be called Casara

Thanks guys....FRom what I know its from an endangered tree of some kind??
Anyway a guy wants to put that on a handle of a blade I am to make. Here is what he sent me. I am making a fixed blade though....

That was my first thought too...chechen (sp).

If so there is a guy on ebay that sells it sometimes.

I looked on ebay he (Chris Woods) has some but it doesn't have as many eyes. I got two burls of him, one had the eyes. I dyed it so the color isn't the same.
