woodman Does the bleaching hold?, or is there any fading over time. and how deep does it go, will polishing diminish the color? I would guess that not all wood will react in the same manner. I may test this on a couple of the Big Bend end pieces I have.

It will stay bleached, but if you put it in direct sunlight, it will beach even more. It does not go very deep at all, that is why you polish it before you bleach it. It does not work on all material, trial and error.
Nice B&A...I gotta say based on the pics I am kind of partial to the "before", but how does it look in hand? Definetely more detail in the "after" but on this piece I like the contrast on the "before". Thanks for sharing. Cheers
I like both before and after, but I prefer the after for the extra details it shows.
Looks like the sagebrush pygmy rabbits from the east side of the Cascades. One of the few critters that climb the wall surrounding my garden (have to chase them out from time to time when they start on my flowering plants). I hear they are getting scarce in some areas.
That was my first thought , but I knew we are out of their range. At first I thought it was a cottontail baby, but tail is totally different. Plus the fact that he is a fully developed male.
What a cutie. Are they usually tame enough to hold? Or did the shock of being a present have something to do with it?
This is the first one I have ever seen, but I think it was in a bit of shock. I hopped right off when we released it. Had to do some checking to find out what it was.
I have only polished one piece of Blue Forest. I want to remove the "algae" from the outside. got this one in an acid bath, from what I have been reading, it will take a bit of work to clean it up.
