Ray?!!? Does Thuya and Amboyna burl need to be stabilized or is it a hardwood? I have never used either and was wondering.

Correct! It is all made from thuya burl. Actually, we didn't make those ourselves. They came handcrafted from Morroco. I have some thuya burl blocks that I sell as well as Amboyna. I'll post some in the "Items and Bargains" forum soon to see if there is any interest.

You wouldn't happen to have some Gila Monster skins would you? LOL

Thank you. LOL, Sorry, no Gila Monster. We get lots of rattlesnakes that we skin though. We've gotten 7 around our property in the last week (technically 18 because one snake had 11 snakelings in it).
