Petrified wood is found on every continent in the world. Fortunately, Arizona has the largest deposit in the world so far.
Upon further investigation, it looks like there are about 15 states that don't have any deposits. ...........Jerry (in Tucson)

Travis,
I have a single flat sawn sample of Prunus mexicana and would love to add a 1/4 sawn sample to the reference collection. Keep me in mind if you sell any. Samples finish at 3" wide by 6" long by 1/2" thick. Thank you.
I'll keep that in mind Peet. Mind sharing any photos of you have of your flat seen sample?
I'll get to it...rain day stuff.
Took out a Bois D' Arc & Huisache stump this morning
That bois d'arc slab looks like something Wildthings would mount a Wood Duck on....

A pair of them!!
Turns out the larger stump was China Berry... got a couple curly pieces out of it
Storm caused a huge maple to fall across the road night before last about a 1/4 mile from my house. I was able to get some pieces from the limbs today. Never processed any maple. The wood feels very lite for the size limbs I cut?
Acer rubrum, better known as "soft maple" also called "red maple". Great wood to work with.
Congrats! You will enjoy! Chuck
Nice score.
So the "huisache" stump turned out to be a China Berry stump. Was able to process some curly pieces out of it. Down side is they cracked like hell. Garage is like an oven this time of year should have moved the good pieces inside sooner.
Took down this old mesquite yesterday. Freeze a cpl years back got it. Unfortunately both leads were rotten through the middle(the big side hollow) up to about 4-5 feet so I wasn't able to get any millable pieces out of it. There are some pieces that look to have some burl/figure to them that I'll either turn or bandsaw mill(will post pictures of them later). I did notice this huge burl on a dead tree about 50 feet away. Will be going back out to cut down a Mulberry in the future and will definitely be taking this guy with me.
I found this sitting outside my Shop Doors today. Four Foot of Cherry Log.
Found out a Neighbor Dropped it off. He wants two (2) Ice-Cream Bowls and the rest is mine.
Dimensions are about 12.5" to 14"
Works for me since my lathe is only 12"
I Anchor sealed it... not sure when I'll get to cut it up.

Congrats! Really a nice log! Lots of potential there! Chuck
