Now that is a great bucket of fun there! That last one has a beautiful pattern to it and is it black wood? The whole batch is great! Fran

Really like the black and brown. Looks like you're making that saw earn it's keep.

Man, you are getting after it. That Eden Valley Wood is gorgeous. I used to cut like crazy, until I started hearing the saw blade saying, "$300.00", and slowed down. But just ignore it, it's only money, right?

The pieces that look like wood are a jasper. Before I cut it you could see great orb patters on the outside. I was hoping the pattern would continue through out the pieces but it didn't. I tried many angles to get them but it just didn't work. I am still happy with what I got from that rock.
Where does Eden Valley wood come from? I purchased this rock from a shop in Prineville, Oregon.

I stand corrected. There are similarities. I saw the black and cream and assumed it was Eden Valley. Sorry.
Eden Valley Petrified Wood and is named after the town of Eden, Wyoming. Eden is located in the west-central part of the state and is in the center of the 80 mile long area where the fossil wood is found.
Here's a pic of the stuff that comes from that area.

That stuff is nice too. Of course what wood isn't?
