Just like with a tight coral pattern, I can imagine quite a few designs in this material. |

I have a piece that looks very similar to that one. No saw big enough to cut it, so it sits.   |

So I saw this last week on Ebay. The guy sells books, and put up a set of book ends he picked up "many years ago" at a rock shop. The pictures were not very good, but from what I made out it looked like pet palm from the Lajitas area of Texas. They arrived today and and I'm pretty happy with my purchase! both pieces together with the outer layer showing. 6 pounds total  Opened up. Super polish on the faces with felt glued to the sides and bottoms  The top of the two  This is a very cool set of book ends.. however I'm afraid at least one of these might meet the slab saw this weekend |
