Sandblasted Manzanita & Purple Hydrangea

Sandblasting manzanita exposes the ivory interior of manzanita, often revealing beautiful red and brown swirls that make this wood unique. The process removes much of the smaller branches, so the look is bit sparse in comparison to natural manzanita. The look is clean and elegant, and the branches can be decorated in nearly color scheme.
