The last time I busted up tumbling rough I broke down some estate sale pieces that were sold as pet wood. With all the different varieties of rocks I have tumbled I still have very little experience with pet wood. If anyone can I.D. any of these as pet wood and possibly what variety I would love to know more about them. woodman Fossilman Sabre521. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Thanks for looking Chuck

Very nice! Not sure about number 1,2 and 5 but the others are for sure! 3 and 4 look like a form of palm in my opinion. I have some others similar to what you have there as well but can't say where they originated from cause I got mine from a small collection.

If I could tumble like you do, then I would do some. They look great, Id is hard at best and anything I could add would just be a WAG.

Photo #5 looks like opalized wood from Washington. A club member who lives there part-time said it's from near George, Washington.
I didn't call "BS" on him - but I did go home and look it up. It's in Grant County.

Back when I first showed up here on RTH a member self collected a bunch of that and sent me a box. He labeled it as being from George, Washington. The piece I just posted was not from his stuff but it does look really similar. Chuck

If they are not pet wood then I am not sure what they would be. Took a good shine. Chuck

I don't have enough experience to recognize any of the wood. But they all look better than the wood I run through my tumbler. Mine tends to be on the fractured side, which shows up every time after tumbled and polished. But I've only run 1 or 2 types. I found that sometimes I can figure out what kind of rock I have by using this reference. Though, I am admittedly a bit too lazy to look most of the time and defer to the pros here at RTH. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/39253/american-agate-jasper-database-filesGood luck.
