First load with my TV-5. I redid the pre-polish and polish stages.
Local Pet Wood,

My fav.

Local Jaspers

The one on the left surprised me. I thought the Petwood would kill it. Turned out not to bad.

Some agates I through in for fill.

I like the wood, looks like the stuff on your side of Saskatchewan is a little lighter colored than here. Sort of like milk swirls. I like it.

I love that wood! I had already picked out your favorite as my favorite, before I read further... Does anyone else think that a piece of this awesome wood, wrapped, would be a "manly" enough wrap for E-dog? <grin> Amy

I'm glad you all liked them.
