Great job, Ali! Looks like it could be some type of rhyolite to me (maybe birdseye?).
You are quickly getting the hang of flat lap for sure. Hope the sun comes out for you tomorrow. It rained here all day yesterday and was mostly cloudy today. Monday they're calling for more of the "S" word.

I'm pretty sure it is ryolite. It's so pretty too.
Almost too big to do on the 6" but I managed. Have to clean up the sides once I get it off the stick.
We got one heck of a hail storm today and more on the way Staying holed up all weekend.

So I'm jamming along to CCR when I hear a really loud squeak then some shaking going on Take off the disk and low and behold there is no screw. I know there should be one because like a good girl, I read the manual. Looked everywhere and nope no screw. So of course they are closed today and Monday is a holiday. Uugggg and I was having fun with this pet wood.

Oh yeah, you're making them shiny alright... .
That pet wood sure looks like some Hubbard Basin I just sliced up. Do you know the origin of your piece for sure?
And, BTW, I'm glad you un-screwed yourself by tightening that little thingy in the arbor.
Cheers!
PS - First three albums I ever bought were CCR.

PS - First three albums I ever bought were CCR. I got it in the traveling rock box last year and it was labeled Colorado pet wood I'm having a heck of a time getting a flat spot out of it so I switched to some killer rainbow obsidian I live CCR. Cant think of a bad song by them
