Hello, these two are made in this week-end. This week I was in mood (and also had time) for wood polishing. The first one is a wood I've bought from a guy who started my passion for polishing pet woods, when I first admired his work. Initially, that one was made to sit on the smallest flat surface (the one that is now upward). I've polished it and also re-grinded the large lateral surface, as it had some natural cavities and I wanted to get rid of them. The support that allows it to stand up is also a pet wood (opalised). The top surface (the former base): Interesting patterns on the large lateral face: Mirroring in the same face: And another one: Thanks for looking, Adrian

The patterns in the 3rd & 4th pictures are great, would make some great cabs. The shine is amazing too! Raquel

Adrian those are beautiful!! You bring out the most striking wood grain patterns! I've found myself looking at pieces of pet wood in my tumbles thinking - these sure don't look like Adrian's pieces... ;D You've spoiled me!!

Adrian, I don't think enough can be said about the shine you get on these pieces. There are no words to describe it.
