Medium flat rate box full, 25 pounds of petrified wood pieces for tumbling. This is some of my favorite pet wood and I pick it up in the coprolite fields while turd hunting. I love the vibrant colors and patterns in it and it takes a good polish too.

All proceeds will be paid directly to Tommy and he can pass it along to Pro Boards. I'll cover the cost to ship it to the high bidder.

Bidding will start at $50 and go up in full dollar increments. Auction ends Friday, March 26th at 5pm MST. Good luck to everybody and thanks for contributing to a good cause.

Tommy please move this thread as appropriate.

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?

Wow Randy, that is some beautiful wood you're donating to a good cause!

All you tumbling folks should be bidding on this.

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."

The rest could be tumbled. You win both ways.

Yes, I think there are a couple of cabs hiding in there if wanted.
