It is about 13 inches side to side.

There is a reason they call this stuff "Golden oak"

The macro shot was thrown in to show you what a macro lens can do, to go to the next level you need some type of microscope. I can't post a photo in a reply tho.

A location name, Stinking Water, OR. Near Prineville.

Locations in area

Way back, legendary mountain man John Colter dubbed what is now called the Shoshone River the "Stinking Water" because of the sulphurous gases emanating from hot springs and other geothermal features along the river.

from Summitpost.org

Whoops, THAT Stinking Water is in Wyoming. Well, you get the idea...

About a half hour north of San Diego, in the city of Carlsbad, you will find the Agua Hedionda lagoon. It means "smelly water" in Spanish, located where the Agua Hedionda river dumps into the ocean. A brackish backwater.
