So I had my hunting dog out for a little tune up in pheasant country last Thursday prior to this past weekend's opener...while crossing a gravel bar I found a piece of petwood that had tumbled a long way from the mountains. On Friday a new blade arrived.... On the horizon are the mountains where this stuff comes from - probably 70+ miles up the canyon to the source. Pretty good chunk for getting tumbled that far. At home after a good cleaning here we go pretty little things...crumbly on the edges but they seem firm in the center. I hope it gets a little more solid as I get into the middle of the rock.

Great story. I haven't been pheasant hunting since I moved away from PA eons ago. Great find with the wood, good luck with the pheasants.

Pheasant hunting turned out way better than the slabs.... Stone is destined for the rock garden. Way too fractured. It slabs ok but any pressure on the slab and it will break apart. Too bad as the fracture lines yield some cool patterns.
