To Maren

Glad you like them! I think there were 2 pieces of 'regular' driftwood in there, the ones that have the funny shapes are Hawaiian tree fern (locally known as hapu'u, and I don't know the botanical name off the top of my head). - At some point I'm going to get around to putting some up for sale on my website, but having lost most of 2 days of the 3 day weekend to vog (volcanic smog, which affects me more than most people because I get problems with mucous membranes including the ones behind my eyes, if those are even mucous membranes, swelling to the point that I can't see properly, but at least it's vaguely dry now so that my allergies to do with 'wet' aren't as bad), that'll have to wait. At least you got some, and I was hoping they'd fit in with the rest.

Sorry it took so long to finally get those in the mail, first I didn't get anything dry, then I kept forgetting to take them to work, but once I had those two gotten together the rest was easy.

Got to do something I don't do often: post an ad.

What were the nuts?

sorry, should have said. They are kukui nuts. That's what kukui nuts really look like, not like the tumbled ones you see on Ebay. Those usually come from the Philippines anyway, not from here. These are of course tumbled some, but by the ocean, sand and gravel.
