Hello everyone, This is a piece of pet wood that I've picked together with my "big hunt" this summer. Today came its turn to polish, and it didn't disappoint me at all I polished it on its natural surfaces that were pretty flat from the beginning. This wood is very special anyway, being palm and having drusy areas, but in addition it resembles pretty good with the map of Romania: Another view, with the drusy area: And some close-ups: Thanks for looking, Adrian

Nice palm Adrian! And the druzy makes it all the more special. I don't remember seeing druzy on palm before.

Very nice, Adrian. The close up pix really show the fibrous nature of palm. The reference map is pretty neat, too.

This is really nice Adrian. I love palm wood. I like the patterns it creates. Great job on polishing it too.

Nicely done Adrian! that palm wood is sweet with the druzzy. The shape of Romania is an added bonus. I enjoy seeing your pics and it is easy to see you are an advid pet wood lover. Thanks for sharing! Daniel

Thanks, everyone! Now that most of you told me that the combination palm+drusy is so uncommon, I like it even more than before!
