As I stated earlier in another topic...I have had this petwood (47 pounder)with me for over 30 years-dragging it from house to house, state to state, when I moved! Finally I just headed to eastern Oregon and had Roy cut it up for me....Here is one of the slabs from the tree... Very unusual piece to say the least! If you look at it carefully, you see the bottom part of the core is missing. But wait, look up to the left corner, it's there.... Something happened to this tree before it was petrified and it broke and shifted that part of the log upward, than it stayed there after it petrified... Cool or what.....Has a bit of agate in it too.....I found this in Yellowstone county in Montana.....

She's a beauty Michael. Looks like it went through some metamorphous stages along the way. Got half a bull's eye for sure.

Love the wood, that is a great chunk of it! That's great you can see the grain like that.
