Only got two done last night. Told myself after these two I'm not making anymore until some of the 75+ I have waiting are run thru lot-o and polished. Moroccan Agate-  Locally collected pet wood-  That's all for now. Hopefully will have a bunch polished in week or so and then can resume with making more! Thanks for looking! |

Beautiful! Love that pet wood. Thank you! I'm finally getting a decent idea of what pieces of wood are worth cutting or not. Have worn out many cheap tile saw blades hacking into plain, boring wood so am glad when get it right and cut ones worth cutting lol. |

Oh, here is two others I made last week that I liked but never posted. Best I can recall first was from some fancy jasper tumbling rough, but could be way off base with ID.  And this one is Chinese red skin agate-  Ok now I think that's all... |

Great work on some sweet stones!
I especially like the local wood. Shrink wood?

Thank you, but these were photographed wet so cant really take credit for the shine. Lol. Hopefully tho, the magical Lot o will produce similar results ! |

Wow, who needs polish when you got a shine like that on them already? Wish I could take credit for the shine you see but they were photographed wet..but I'm hoping they come out just as shiny when polished. |

beefjello this is other piece of the wood. Would this be considered shrink wood? I've cut several other pieces of wood that have similar characteristics as this and have wondered if they were shrink wood or not.  Are these shrink wood?
