Here's some more of the same batch we saved from being wasted.

Ya, a lot of wood is best used for rock gardens and such! But I would have to see for myself on a couple of them!!

Amazing. A petrified forest. Where was this?
Good thinking on part of the mechanic. I wonder how much he was able to take?

It is most unusual. Looking forward to seeing some polished pieces.

The area is on the south side of the Carquinez Strait in San Francisco Bay, basically the west side of the Sacramento River delta. I’m guessing they were laying down when buried and geologic uplift is responsible for them appearing to be standing vertical.

A lot of petrified trees were buried stand vertical!

Nice find!

So far the best thing I've found for my needs is shallow shelving that doesn't protrude into the room too far. I just got this one and plan to build more so I can phase out the deep ones I've had for years. Here it is as I'm starting to place part of my collection in it.

I like the plastic stands, would work good for thundereggs!

I just uploaded this photo to test the system. seems to work. I had a lot of problems in getting the presets just right, I kept missing some little thing or the other. Hope I don't have to go back and relearn how to do it! Wish you luck!
