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? Stonemon RIP

I posted this photo in another thread...but I thought this pic should go in this thread. This big guy was parked out in front of The Rock Shed today.

Hey woodman - just wanted you to know how much I appreciate this thread, and other posts by you helping to ID various woods.
We just picked up a small pile of rocks, and thanks to you I think I can ID one piece of oak. It has "rays" like you pointed out in a thread recently.
I wouldn't pretend to put an firm ID on it, but it was fun to recognize those features in a piece. Incovenient flat shape less than 2" thick max, but I will clean it up someday and split it so we can get at least one good face.
My friend that cut this Conk wood from the Virgin Valley, NV sent me some pictures last night. I found this piece in an old sorting pile of rejects. A lot of VV wood needs to be dried out before it fires up.

"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."

'Dule, you really do have the knack of pulling a rabbit out of a hat quite frequently! This is simply amazing!

Thanks again.
While most Oak has the rays, not all Oak do. Also there are other woods that also have rays. Sycamore for one. It is fun trying to figure out what is what!
