Ok. I can see that. Especially now that I’m on a bigger screen.

Palm Root is one of my favorites, ever since rockjunquie was kind enough to send me some way back when.

5 is pet wood from opalpyrexia, a super nice piece.

Unfortunately, it was much bigger but kept fracturing when I worked it.
Yeah, I cursed.

Of course you led with the best one, IMHO, but 5 is sweet, too.

Love the Palm Root, Mike! Gorgeous piece. The other pet wood is a beauty, too.

"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."
