My cousin has had a couple of rather large pieces of Petrified wood in her flower garden for 30 or 40 years and she wanted to see what it looked like so she bought up the smaller piece, actually her husband and his brother, and we put it on the dold drag saw and made a few cuts. This is esthe heel cut! 24 inches wide and about 9 1/2 tall. No idea of what kind of wood it was or where it came from originally. Her husband was working on a construction site and they wer landscape rocks that wee no longer wanted.

That's stunning!

"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 piece is stunning! Like Brian said, the combination of the polished and natural edges makes this SO cool!

If I was going to display it in my home, I think I would leave it on the turntable and let it run!
That would be unbelievably cool!
