Mine started out looking much like the one back right. Front left looks nicely knobular though.
I was gonna say the far left as well, looks like a nice burl piece.
Good luck! 
Looks like the two tall pieces are tying to kill the ones on their backs. Should title that pic, Night of the Walking Deadwood.
Looking forward to seeing what you create.
So, the old "I've got a woody" phrase is finally catching on this year? WOW, it takes you guys a while for stuff to sink in, doesn't it!
I think that burl will probably make something great looking if you can resist the temptation to smoke it and cut it up instead.
As always, we are looking forward to one of your awesome builds... Can you knurl wood??
Waiting for some gnarly knurling.
Watching with great interest at a unique MRsDNF creation.
Who’s Ron?? 
I reckon Ron fits in well with do not finish. :laughing:
Well, they both better stay off the turps, otherwise nothing will get done…
Not the piece in my pic but there’s a 2 x AA tube sitting here with your name on it. You’re not the only one here deserving of the DNF moniker but if the C3 parts I’ve ordered work I may have to misplace that name tag.
Huh!, what else would would one pick to challenge oneself when oneself can already machine up a torch out of metal at will? Well an almost abstract shaped piece of flora, of course.
Curious about how you’ll go about this…
later on.
some more of our good slang it was originally part of a cigarette add
pj/s I think
I don’t know but hope to find out when I eventually have a lathe. If I’m not mistaken a similar pattern in wood on guns is referred to as ‘checkering’.
I’d rather see the grain and have the knurling elsewhere.
Knurling (or checkering) can bring the grain out quite nicely. Not the same pattern we typically use on metal but a larger diamond pattern. Goncalo Alves on a 1911 .45ACP is gorgeous!
Good luck DNF! If I don’t live up to your moniker, I might have something interesting for the winner.
Gidday Bucket. It’s good to see you back here. I miss your uniqueness, the way you attacked problems with more patience and persistence than I would ever have.
The checkering on firearm stocks before it was laser cut was chiselled out. I aren’t going there. 
Op updated 24.7.16.
Some nice Burl at the bottom. Glad you pulled that one out. My root only yielded a few good pieces and the one I’m using is the longest one. I saved everything in case I can use it for smaller lights but much of the ball had similar 3/8” voids that will have to be cut around or filled. Will that be enough?
It’s cool to see what was in those burls. That red one looks like it could make something pretty.
