Bob, that's a stunner! I'm going to show this to my wife and let her know just how big it is...that way maybe she won't be so upset with all the "small" rocks I have laying around! LOL
I failed to mention how big it is! It is about 12 x 8 inches across the polished face and about 7 inches long. When I go it home and cleaned up I did not have the heart to slab it up and figured it would make a much better specium the way it was so I just contoured polished one end of it. I dug it at Stinking Water pet wood area a few years back. I do think it was a section of a limb and not a tree trunk. It was laying horizonal in the lahar flow in an area where there were upright tree trunks. Good memories digging there but I will not go back, too hard on this old body!! It was Oak by the way. Mostly likely White Oak.
Another Saturday is upon us! been outside working so came in to rest up before dinner and thought I would post this photo of a half round slab of Stinking Water oak. miocene

Thanks for posting those, woodman ! I'm glad it was a video because I was not expecting that level of polish on that video you reposted. My socks have officially been blown off by that one.
A good sunny day and a video will really show off a good polish job. Hard to show with a still photo!

rocknrob: We could use more people like that now for sure. Or if being a nice person is too hard, just leave some tumbled agates around places where kids play for them to find!

Warzy Raptor: Just try being nice to -everyone-, you’ll be surprised at the results! My nasty supervisor will change her tone within five minutes when I kill her with kindness. And the local homeless lady Michelle and I have hour-long knee-slapping convos!
