Howdy folks, Got yesterday's rough washed and sorted. They got some nice stuff this time. Here are a few pics.....Mel Nice multi colored moss: More colorful than the pics.     This is one of those bright red and gold swirly ones that look like wood.  Weird eyes and tubes: The white is a patina, mossy inside.  Another good'un. This one has flower garden, orbs and multicolored moss. Pic definitely does not do this one justice. If it would fit my saw, I'd keep this one myself.  First piece of palm fiber:  |

You want that faced Mel? Send it my way sometime and I'll face it on my 24 and ship her back.
ETA: oh, and nice finds! I like the first & second myself.

The P-Pups are doing good Mel. But then they've got a good teacher.
That is an unusual piece of pet palm. Never seen one with so much color associated with it.

Yeah Don, I almost missed it. Didn't notice the vascular bundles on two broken sides till I washed it off. Think I'll take a slab or two off it for myself because I don't have any palm like it from Texas. Almost looks like some of the rare palm fiber from the Mojave in Calif......Mel

Marinedad, Rios run from little tiny biscuit nodules to pretty big. Smallest one pictured is about a pound, rest run from maybe two to five pounds. Largest I've ever had was maybe 15 pounds or so.....Mel

Great finds! The pebble pups are doing great! My favorite is the one with the weird eyes and tubes. I like that pattern on there. How big is that one & is it for sale, please?

OK to answer the questions: This stuff sells out fast so the pups are not keeping up with demand right now. I'll see what I get in next week.
Scott, I'll put you on the list. Told the kiddoes pop the size you'd need for a sphere and I have them looking. The palm is just a baby fist sized hunk and I'm keeping it.
Nick, Got you down for a box too. I'll let you know when I'm restocked. Please Pm me with the sizes you are interested in.
Donnie: it's just small half, about 3/4 pound and I think most the pattern is patina. Looks to be mossy inside. I still have it in my pie and was gonna use it as extra filler. Won't fit in a small flat rate carton so too inefficient postagewise to sell it separately....Mel
