Wow Ted! Thats some wonderful wood.Is that common in your area?I've seen your earlier posts of it.Just wondering if you had to dig,or look in creeks and rivers,or just kick it out of your way when you are walking. snuffy

Yes -Donnie ;D Mel - You should come up here and we will go ! Snuff -found in rivers and creeks :cheesy: i do keep some of this but do sell most of it . that is in hopes to find more , but this stuff is rare . As far as that goes i am pretty much the only one that finds much of it in the US . Some amount is found in Germany . And alot is found in Brazil , The color of the Brazilian stuff is not appealing to me , i may be partial or partially insane , but i like my wood = brown , well maybe alittle red . Thanks for all You`re comments !

Ted, what did that thing look like before you cut it? (So I know what to pick up the next time I see one. )
