Howdy folks

Had a really hard time photographing these because of that gosh darn shine ;D

These are WA State agatized wood. I love this stuff! The last one got chipped and will have to be re-done.

Local Snakewood

Local Palm

Thanks for looking!

The first one is my favorite, then the Texas palm. I didn't know the palm could have such pretty colors! You say it is local to you - is it hard to find, or can you just look down and find some? ;D I might have to make a road trip....
