Petrified Wood.

Post by william w » Thu Dec 12, 2013 5:16 pm

I have had this piece of petrified wood since 78, Been hauling it around where ever I moved too and just putting it in the yard out there with the rest of my rocks I have picked up. Yesterday after work I decided to see what it would look like polished on one end.

Looks great William. I guess now you have asked yourself "why did I wait so long to do that?"

I do wonder now why I waited so long to do this. And it did polish really easy.
Thanks for the compliments.

We had one of those hanging around the house since I was a kid. Now I have to see if I can find it and give it some love.

Looks really cool !

Very cool William!

I was thinking the same thing Anna... about Antonio making me one! :lol:

No, about putting a glass top on it for a coffee table or end table.
