Was out at hampton butte Friday and got a few small pieces, nothing to write home about. also stumbled across a large pine, see photo, in The post area. Also found a few small pieces of Sycamore that i will be working up shortly!

This one is about 30 inches in diameter. needless to say, it is still there!

Oops I caught you mid post and didn't see the pix... great find!

Oooh shiny...

Should’ve hit me up. I’m super close to the area 😂 I also know where some massive pieces of bear creek wood are if you’re willing to help me get them out. I’m pretty sure the stuff in the ground is actually decent material. The big logs above ground aren't worth a crap as far as I’m concerned.

I am getting so stove up that I really don't4 do a whole lot anymore. I sure do enjoy getting out and smelling the sage brush and juniper. Ya any thing that has been above or close to the surface is not worth much but it is good to see. Some Bear creek stuff can be great!

Two small pieces of what I believe is Sycamore, but it could be Beech. I was going post this on Sat but our power company shut our power off for a few days. It is real dry and with hevy winds in the forecast, they decided it was safer to shut down the power. Probably the right decision, but still hate to be wit4hout power. Ran generator for freezer and fridg. I forgo to say that both of these pieces came from the same hole. Unusual difference in color!.

I got some libcast just like this laying around the yard, but encased in pink chalcedony. I’ll try to get some slabs and polishing done and post them.

"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."
