Very cool looking piece. It does have a happy face on it, doesn't it?

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

That wood reminds me of some of the spalted wood I use to make exhibition grade pistol grips. Seems the Stinking Water material even retains original color? I've marveled at how many of your oak specimens even have a genuine oak color in addition to fabulous grain and texture.

If we were able to carry the love and tolerance shown here into the world as a whole and get anyone to follow the example set, who knows what could be born from that?

I doubt that any of the photos of Pet wood that I have posted shows the original colors of the wood. The colors come from the minerals that are in the water during the petrification process. They do look nice tho! I am burning some spalded maple for firewood right now, had a big ded maple come down a few weeks ago.

It's incredibly beautiful.

I have some that is black, some brown , some the golden oak, wide color range for a small collection area. I need to tag each piece I have with the location where I found it.
