I'm in. Blending colors from one to the other makes me happy. I've even been known to nest beach cobble in knot holes of weathered stumbs. I envy your crossing the lines between rocks and wood. Rocks create nests in nature, and you are accelerating the process and better yet enhancing the transition of tones, texture, and time. Tom

An attractive integration of stone and wood is difficult, you've done an excellent job of it.

Now that's a complete work of art! What a mutual enhancement between the two materials - rock and wood!
That plate on which the boulder opals are displayed - is it wood or sandstone?

Awe inspiring! Great imagination to envision the design, then execute it. Brings new meaning to the term "mixed media." Yet, they somehow work together very well.
Lovely, thanks for posting!

Very nice. I've often thought about ways to combine my love for wood with stone, and this is remarkable. Wood and stone belong together, the beauty inside each is a surprise when it's cut, and together they just blend perfectly. Well Done!

A friend mounted tumbles in some driftwood that had tumbled rock size pocks in it djaxon. It reminded me of the effect you created in your photo below. One of the best blends of rock and wood that I had ever seen until you posted this carving. The driftwood gave a natural effect and your design a cleaned and polished one. Very inspiring  |

Thank you both. Jamesp and Krazydiamond. Your positive comments are a real treat! Encouraging as are all my interactions with RTH. (and with the wire wrapping learning curve - i really need this) lol
