OMG! That's amazing! I'm guessing it's from rock heaven.

I'm thinking the herringbone pet wood comes from Hell's Canyon, Idaho?
Beautiful piece, thanks for sharing.

I'm thinking the herringbone pet wood comes from Hell's Canyon, Idaho? A beautiful log of that from the Snake River canyon has certainly been sold as "herringbone" - though that zig-zag grain pattern has also been sliced from petrified wood from other areas (e.g., some of the Sycamore from near Sweet Home, and Malheur County, Oregon). The "Hell's Canyon Wood" has some pretty crystal-filled vessels and rot pockets. That one was ID'd as some sort of conifer (probably sequoia) and has always been spendy.

Looks like sequoia Petrified wood from McDonalds ranch in Oregon to me. I could be wrong...just ask my wife.

Is it opalized? Hard to tell, but it looks like it may be from the photo. Lynn

No petrified wood expert here, but I've cut the so-called "Herringbone" Sequoia wood from Hell's Canyon (ID-OR) and opalized sycamore from the now off-limits Badger Pocket find in OR.
Your wood definitely has herringbone patterns and I personally think the adjective is generic, applicable to that pattern no matter where the material was found. It looks a lot like the Hell's Canyon wood but (as far as I can see) it lacks the tiny see-through crystallized vugs, resulting from rot in the original log, that make some of the HC material so popular.
