I got a set of "slightly flawed" D6 dice.  I've thrown all of them at once about 20 times.  Not one single "1" has shown up yet.  Now if I could get a D20 that never rolled a "1", I'd really have something.

I know people who would pay good money for a d20 like that!

I have a suggestion for a wood species to add to your lineup. Rowan tree (Sorbus aucuparia)! The modern name is Mountain Ash. The Asian\European variety not the North American variety. 

This species is very significant in Celtic, and Norse mythology and lore. NOBODY else sells any Rowan dice that I can find. I'd buy some tomorrow if I could. 

Here is one link talking about it's significance: https://thepresenttree.com/blogs/news/rowan-tree-meaning

Here is a link to a celtic legend about a particular island that contained a Rowan Tree. The ruin's of my clan's ancestral castle is on that island!  I recently went to Scotland boated out to the island and climbed up to the castle ruins.

My first d&d group had a cleric named Rowena.  That's what I think of first.
