It was past time to dust off these Stinking W ater bookends, so I figured I may as well take new photos of them.

What do you see? Wood conceals strange creatures at Halloween.

I think you will find that water does not work all that well, especially with the harder materials. I started out using water and found that t he diamond segments would glaze over real fast and required constant sharpening. Went to diesel and it works much better.

I went to a Rock sale and picked these up yesterday... Going to have a great time with these To me, they look like Richardson's rock ranch eggs. Lot of fun there.

Nice batch of Thundereggs! I'm tagging Fossilman , woodman , and 1dave to see if they recognize them as being from a specific location. I'm guessing they look like they're Richardson's Ranch T-eggs...but I'm not sure... Not Richardson's, other than that I don't a have a clue.

I dug this Canyon Rim Egg shortly after the deposit was discovered. Just now getting around to finish it. got it lapped and ready to sand and polish. I stopped at the mine last month and picked up a few eggs that were laying around. Did not feel like digging. Got aa couple of them in process, cut.

Two small pieces of what I believe is Sycamore, but it could be Beech. I was going post this on Sat but our power company shut our power off for a few days. It is real dry and with hevy winds in the forecast, they decided it was safer to shut down the power. Probably the right decision, but still hate to be wit4hout power. Ran generator for freezer and fridg. I forgo to say that both of these pieces came from the same hole. Unusual difference in color!.

Should’ve hit me up. I’m super close to the area 😂 I also know where some massive pieces of bear creek wood are if you’re willing to help me get them out. I’m pretty sure the stuff in the ground is actually decent material. The big logs above ground aren't worth a crap as far as I’m concerned. I am getting so stove up that I really don't4 do a whole lot anymore. I sure do enjoy getting out and smelling the sage brush and juniper. Ya any thing that has been above or close to the surface is not worth much but it is good to see. Some Bear creek stuff can be great!

Was out at hampton butte Friday and got a few small pieces, nothing to write home about. also stumbled across a large pine, see photo, in The post area. Also found a few small pieces of Sycamore that i will be working up shortly! This one is about 30 inches in diameter. needless to say, it is still there! Oops I caught you mid post and didn't see the pix... great find! When I first tried posting the photo it was too large and i had go back and make it smaller!
