I BROKE IT!!!CRY CRY! I had to move it and thought I would take it out and lay it on the grass to get some photo's, but I was not gentle enough and flopped it down too hard.. Repairable but I would have rather not to have broken it! Oak Root ball. 22 by 16 inches 2 inches thick.
What a heartbreaker Bob!!!
How do you repair something like this? Drilled holes in each piece and joined with dowels...or maybe like a biscuit joiner?
I use two part epoxy like for counter top work. works real good. coat both pieces and clamp it up. Super glue works also but I like the epoxy better. Part of where it broke was an old crack I did not see or treat with super glue before. lost a couple of small chips but it will come out pretty good.

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

rocknrob: That had better be a good sandwich for that price, otherwise you're better off making one yourself.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade.

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant
