Well, got the battery charged so here are the rest the pics....Mel Couple of more cuts of the black shrinkwood round: This hunk of wood was another complete replacement. Maybe a tiny bit of pattern left but mostly just good golden moss agate: One that stopped the saw, a small slab of the weird looking palmy stuff: My favorites and very solid too. Think this one began as palm wood but got strange when it partly rotted and was turned into shrinkwood; Closer look, cool stuff!

What a variety of beautiful pet woods! The last one (last 2 pics) is my favorite. Looks like breciated, but the name suggests the wood might have been shrinking prior to petriffication.

I am always amazed at the variety there is in petrified wood. You seem to really find some astonishing pieces! Fran
