  1. so the ones back then had saws? Looks that way. maybe they weren't as backward as we have been led to believe.

  2. My uncle had a 36" coffee table made from a 4" slab of one of these. It was old, as in 30's/40's. Wonder how many years in prison for making one these days?

  3. Petrified wood that has obviously been sawn raises some serious questions.

  4. I live an hour away from PF/PD and have gone a couple times. It's very austere and interesting. There was a ton of amateur scavenging starting over a century ago and running through the start of the preservation efforts. A lot of tabletops were produced and sold to people in the east.
    The petrified logs laying around on the ground are fractured as if they were sawn. I don't recall seeing any as colorful as the ones in the snaps.

  5. My wife was amazed with the PF. She really flipped out when I splash some water on a few.
