Howdy Folks,
Beautiful 80 degree day here in the hill country today, bluebonnets blooming and butterflies flitting about so I decided to make a trip down near Bandera to the gal's ranch that has her fathers old collection piled about. She's always a doll and very patient with me as I squirt every rock in the piles looking for new treasures. I'm getting better at spotting the palm now and scored some beautifull palm fiber, shrinkwood, agate, and even some rare pocket rot ( dino bone) wood. I got some dandy pet wood including some fine palm pieces for the tumbler too. Anyway here's the first few pics. Curt buddy, not much left in the way of large stuff and no big shrinkwood but I have a couple of unchipped ones that may pan out. I'll put them in the saw soon and see if they're any good....Mel
Couple of colorful ten inch saw sized shrinkwoods:
Raw dino bone wood. Thin this one will be colorful inside:
Extremely pretty shrinkwood but only big enough for a couple small cabbing slices:
Lot of small rare wood pieces in those piles, This is a palm fiber unlike any other I have:
Gorgeous palm fiber of the usual variety:
Brown palm fiber:
And finally. some real bright colored Texas wood:
I'll post more pics after my camera battery recharges.
