Makes me want to go bust mine up. But I might as well wait, all my barrels are full of course and probably will be for the next month. Trish

I wanted to start another batch of mex lace but decided to go with another load of pet wood...saving my mex lace for the saw.
Got one load of pet wood in polish and one in 60/90 now. I sure need a bigger tumbler...

Those look so soft! Specially love the one in the 3rd picture - that would make an amazing wrap in gold wire - heck even sterling silver would be great!

Wow that turned out really nice. I haven't had any luck with the other stuff I ordered. It just keeps chipping along the lines, can't get anything to finish nicely so far. Was that a chunk you whacked up into smaller pieces?

Pho, those are NICE!!!!

I esp love the two in the first pic, the last pic, the 6th, the ........ aw, heck, I love them all! Looks like you have some great "wrappers" there!

I have some in 60/90 - hopefully, next week they will be ready for 220. I'm wondering if they will ever be finished! Also have 3 or 4 of Mex Lace rocks to cut that I am going to try to get some slabs out of. I love that stuff!
