Twisty juniper wood

First time posting to this forum, looks like a nice place to be. The photo is a picure of the wood I work with, wondering if anybody else has worked with it before. I find this wood on ranches, clean the bark off, dry it, then sell it like you see in the photo or make furniture out of it.

Nice, never used anything THAT twisty but it sure does show of the pretty on the wood especially the white sap over the red heart wood. I think my cousin around Klamath Falls gets some pieces like that...
 
Yeah, there's quite a bit of juniper in the Klamath Falls area of Oregon. I haven't done any wood hunting in that area though, I just see it when I'm driving to CA on hwy.97.
 
Yes Tom, I have made hundreds of things out of this wood, some examples are here www.juniperguy.com . Mostly what I do is sell the unfinished wood, when I have time I make stuff too.

It is similar in appearance to Diamond Willow, but Western Juniper is a coniferous softwood and grows to over 2,000 years old.
