Was out at hampton butte Friday and got a few small pieces, nothing to write home about. also stumbled across a large pine, see photo, in The post area. Also found a few small pieces of Sycamore that i will be working up shortly!
This one is about 30 inches in diameter. needless to say, it is still there!
Oops I caught you mid post and didn't see the pix... great find!

Should’ve hit me up. I’m super close to the area 😂 I also know where some massive pieces of bear creek wood are if you’re willing to help me get them out. I’m pretty sure the stuff in the ground is actually decent material. The big logs above ground aren't worth a crap as far as I’m concerned.

I am getting so stove up that I really don't4 do a whole lot anymore. I sure do enjoy getting out and smelling the sage brush and juniper. Ya any thing that has been above or close to the surface is not worth much but it is good to see. Some Bear creek stuff can be great!
Two small pieces of what I believe is Sycamore, but it could be Beech. I was going post this on Sat but our power company shut our power off for a few days. It is real dry and with hevy winds in the forecast, they decided it was safer to shut down the power. Probably the right decision, but still hate to be wit4hout power. Ran generator for freezer and fridg. I forgo to say that both of these pieces came from the same hole. Unusual difference in color!.

This is the slab I broke some time ago, GOt it repaired and lapped, now sanding getting ready for polish! I never get in hurry these days. Sometimes I even get something finished!
woodman - That first shot of them reminds me of a butterfly/moth that's patterned to mimic owl eyes... Love it!!
Favorite Quotes: "It always seems impossible until it is done." - Nelson Mandela "Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apology you never got." - Robert Brault "You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy." - Nightbirde (RIP 2/19/22)
"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."
WOW - just WOW woodman. Bet you were happy when you cut it. I think that's part of the fun seeing what things look like off the saw. Did I saw WOW yet ? !

werejen: I need opinions on rocks that cannot safely be tumbled. I have found a lot of quartz/mix with nice edges that I do not want to lose. Some have told me to use lacquer on them, and others have said a clear coat nail polish. Thoughts?

ThomasT: The rare Double brood of Cicadas coming out now... last time this occurred Thomas Jefferson was President...

ThomasT: Cicadas 13- and 17-year emergence cycles align only once every 221 years... much rarer than a solar Eclipse. Next event will be in the year 2245 AD. Woohoo
