OK, so we didn't get hit hard, but schools were canceled, businesses were closed- even Stihl shut down, so DH was home. We managed some hobby time together.  Morgan hill- nice and simple  Scenic pet wood- just wanted to frame it  NY Tremolite with emerald beads. This is such a pretty stone- even has some sparkles.  Brazilian natural yellow quartz  2 custom pieces. She picked out the rough and asked for 2 pendants.   Blue G- this came from doing too many simple ones- had to mix it up.  Thanks for looking! |

Fantastic job! I still cannot figure out how you do these. The Tremolite is beautiful!

From what I understand, a highway was built over the only site for this kind of quality. It's also supposed to be pleochroic or dichroic but I can't really tell. |

Looks like they built over a few sights  |

Beautiful. The second one looks like the ocean at sunset with the big waves coming in.

Beautiful wraps all of them but the Saddle Mountain picture wood does it for me.

I'm not the authority on wood but I bought a few pieces of Saddle Mountain a while back and it has that same very distinct look to it that I've not seen anywhere else. It's what gives it the scenes and the name picture wood. |

I'm not sure which I envy more- your hands or your eyes! You are a gifted artist.

As always, beautiful wraps! Fav is the wood -- it's stunning and the runner up is the Tremolite.

Your work always astounds me! I've been to Saddle Mountain many times but have never found wood like that. I don't doubt that it came from there because you'll see quite a variety of material depending on where you dig.
The wood is great, but my favorite is the tremolite in this set.
