How would you all do it? I'm thinking of making a standup out of it.

Gotta watch out for fractures with pet wood. They have ruined many a cabochon.

Mine looks more like pet bark. Split around the rings. It won't be good for anything but a tumble

That's lovely! I think I have to agree with rockjunquie. It's too pretty.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis
