I just finished another batch in the Lot-O and thought I would share some of the pictures with you. First of all there are some "natural" pet wood pieces. These were inspired by Adrians work with pet wood. Some of them have been left "natural" and then thrown into the vibe while others have had 1 or 2 sides cut before been thrown into the vibe. The whole lot of them  Some close-ups     I also ran some agate nodules from the famous Agate Creek in Far North Queensland. I bought a few small bags of these at my local rock shop (2 1/2 hours drive away.). The nodules ranged in size from a small marble to just smaller than a golf ball. I cut some first, others I left whole. Group shot  Close-ups     I still have a whole stack more of these left to do but I really wanted to share with you all what I have done so far. Thanks for looking. Have a top day. mike |

Wow! You reaally managed to keep the natural shapes of the woods, yet gave them a mirror shine! And what colors! The last wood is the most interesting and spectacular.
What are those red agates with a sort of cells, having white spots in each cell? I haven't seen this pattern till now and it seems fantastic to me.

Those are really really nice Mike, especially the agates, those are beauts for sure. Such nice vivid reds and the banding is spectacular. Awesome wood too, great job all around.

Those woods look like real wood, not rock. You can see the lines on them so clearly. That's the way I like pet-wood. Keeping the true shape to it. Excellent job.
