Holy..... That is wild it was once wood! That would be a very hard decision to leave a slab or cut some beautiful cabs...

ATTA GIRL!!! OMG! Those really are amazing! I love that whoever cut them was able to cut it so the cellular structure was captured the way it was! Brilliant! You're going to make some astounding cabs from these!! Woot Woot!!

Well, "amazing" seems to be the word of the day. Not that I get out a lot, but I've never seen that before. Amazing!

Thanks everyone! I was pretty stoked when I saw them. I got two of them. I've never cabbed shrinkwood before, so I hope I do it justice.

WOW, if you hadn't told me it was a rock, I would have thought an old rotten board.
Is that all filled in with agate, or are they hollow spaces ?
I really look forward to seeing that one cabbed !
Happy New Year, Patty

I thought the same thing but more along the lines of a soggy piece of cardboard, like looking at the end view where you see the structural cells.

I haven't gotten them yet, but I do believe all the holes are filled. Cool stuff. I've been wanting some and the price was right.
