CHAMISE ROOT BURL (Adenostoma fasciculatum) - also known as Common Chamise, Greasewood.
This is the dominant chaparral plant throughout most of California, often forming pure, impenetrable stands. Also known as Greasewood, the shrub contains highly flammable resins, which cause it to burn rapidly when ignited. Following a fire, Chamise sprouts rapidly from its basal burl (root crown) and soon outgrows most competitors. Chamise further reduces competition by releasing toxins into the soil that inhibit or prevent the growth of most other plants. Chamise becomes dormant during the hottest, driest period of summer, and sheds both branches and bark in an effort to reduce the amount of tissue requiring moisture. These sloughed materials then serve as fuel for the next fire.
Dangers of turning ROOT BURL.
As the name implies this burl comes from the root of a tree or shrub. So being a root it's prone to have foreign object in them that the root has grown around. The main danger is stones or rock. They are deadly to the tools used to shape the wood and can also cause failure to the turning.

Beautiful, sturdy and very easy to crochet with. This hook as all of Nelwonwood’s hooks are works of art. Best hooks to crochet with for hours on end with no hand fatigue. I highly recommend any and all Nelsonwood crochet hooks.

I am already in love! The hook itself is absolutely beautiful and the craftsmanship is perfection. It’s already become a favorite. Though I have a second hook already ordered that might fight for the title :) thank you!

Nelsonwood always gets it just right. Bryan is fast to answer when I have a question. Each hook is beautiful and sturdy. The handle size is perfect. The hook heads are very well made. I have both wood and metal tips. I’ve tried a lot of hooks manufactured and hand made. These are the best.
