Hello! That's my favorite work, polishing stones on their natural surface, especially if these stones are pet woods! These are two woods I've polished today. First, a local wood that I've picked two days ago from a rock pile into a gravel pit: I like very much that the growing rings are perfectly visible from the core, at the both ends of the piece: And second, a piece of wood from Lesvos: It's an awesome material, takes a good polish. And the colors...aren't they sweet? Thanks for looking, Adrian

Nice Adrian! Love those growth rings :-) The wood in Romania has a very nice grain to it. Those are my favorite woods. A lot of it here in Texas is like that. Some is completely replaced. While it looks and polishes great, I still prefer the grain showing.

oh - love that natural face polish! I love how it captures the pet wood in it's purest form and preserves it. Not to mention those growth rings and grain!! Very nice!

Thanks, folks!
Mike, I remember your big pet wood boulder. Did you manage to polish it?

Two beauties there, Adrian. I'm partial to the first one.
