The last time I did this, it was fun and I got a great name! So here we go again. I'd like to have a name for this material. It's lignite replaced wood from East Texas. Here are some samples for you to look at. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=ccabs&action=display&thread=26556The contest will run for a couple of weeks and then I'll pick out my favorites and put them up for a vote. Enter as many names as you would like to. All names will be considered. The winner will receive some slabs of this material, a large piece of rough so you can cut your own, some small samples of Ghost Wood, and I'll use some other stuff I have here for packing. People out of the States are welcome. Unfortunately I can't afford to send an FRB, but I'll be glad to send you some slabs and Ghost Wood. Good Luck! Curt |
