Petrified wood is what I thought right away.

Great pictures Tony. I hope I can make it out there someday!

Weasel and Steve are correct. We spent 10 hours on the way home, shopping for display pieces of petrified wood for my home, as well as, turquoise for an upcoming howler project.

The picture was a closeup of a piece that was almost 3 feet across. Gorgeous display piece, but I could have bought 6 FX3s for what they wanted for it.

Redfrog...too funny!

here I thught it was Kryptonite, bet that sure is hard to turn on the lathe.

Shameless

I was hunting on an Indian Reservation last weekend and there was an area that was covered with petrified wood. There was one spot where a large tree fell over and you could see the entire tree from the trunk out to the branches. Unfortunately, being on Native land I wouldn't dare touch it. It was theirs to begin with and is theirs now.

Weasel,

Where is the picture?????

A whole tree, from root to branch? Where are the pictures???? That would be to cool!!!!

Maybe doctor the picture up with a version that had legs sticking out on one side?

But Really, the whole tree? Cool!!

I know, I can't believe I didn't take pictures. If I go back there, I'll make sure I have the camera. One section of trunk was probably 5 to 6 feet long between cracks. The widest part of the trunk was probably 24" or so. There were many pieces that would have made great book-ends or lamps.

Come on Weas! Show us a picture! That would be way cool! Maybe you can take us on a tour in 08'
