Manzanita Jewelry

A few months ago, I wanted to take a break from painting and do some woodworking with Manzanita.  We have a forest of it on our property and lots of dead old growth that was begging to be transformed.   I didnt necessarily have jewelry in mind when I started playing with it and I have never worn anything but earings.  It is wonderful to work with, the color is gorgeous, feels nice on the skin and deepens in color as it takes on your natural body oils.  Combining it with natural gemstones add some rustic bling.
