Well over 40 years ago I found a stout piece of wood that had interesting worm cuts on it while chaperoning a group in the NorCal woods. I fashioned it into a 70" "Little John" staff/walking stick with a carved handle. Used it a lot in the old days out in the woods. Still have it and still have no clue as to what kind of wood it is.

If it was that shouldn't it have a lot more figure?

Too straight for its length to be manzanita I would think.

Agreed.

Still what I found so intriguing originally were the worm tracks (best seen on the lower shaft in my picture although present on the entire length of the limb/stick). Not the normally encountered pin holes I'd seen.
