Thanks for the replies,

The problem is that I have an object constructed from a number of wooden
elements which are rotated/translated into position. If I apply the bozo
layer onto each element then the pattern doesn't match where the edges
of the elements meet...

As a workaround, I'll scale the bozo pattern smaller, to make it less obvious
where the joins are.

Regards,

Bernard
