Real nice Stinking water! Where is your friends rock shop? Just wondering! To me, reflections serve to show how good the polish job is!

Rooster's Rocks in Aquarium Village...Newport, Oregon

I'll have to ask him where he got them from.

Figured it might be in Newport, You don't see a pair like that very often!

Here's a few rounds of pet wood in my friends rock shop.

2 slices of Stinking Water Oak, about 18"

This one is from Myanmar, about 12"

A Palm table top, about 24".
Will have to go back and get a better photo without the reflections and get some measurements.

'Dule, thanks for posting these! All three of those are amazing...but that Palm is beyond astounding!

Wow, just wow. Absolutely beautiful.

Robin

"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."

-- C.S. Lewis

I have seen a lot of frass but no grubs. the grub would probably decay before it could petrify. Keep looking!
