Great piece and it's really cool that you go about your business the way you do. I started collecting petrified wood late 2022 and it's amazing how much the passion and awe of it all just takes over your life. My collection is growing and trying to be modest here to the degree I can without exaggerating - I have been fortunate to come across some redonculous, museum-grade specimens. I started collecting a good bit of rough last year and I have probably between 300-400 pounds of small pieces that are smaller than a palm, some big chunks that are no less than 15-20 pounds, and several pieces that are at and north of thirty pounds. I bought a seven inch wet tile saw a couple months back and it's been good, but I quickly realized that even a ten inch can't cut the big chunks I have. I'm green as an unripened banana over your saw. Can you offer any thoughts or advice on an "entry level" ten inch wet tile saw compared to an actual lapidary saw? It seems getting a ten inch saw for $750-$850 is more or less the minimum to get a saw that size other than the only one harbor freight offers, and I don't think that's a good buy despite it being one of my favorite stores. On the other hand, an actual lapidary saw takes up much less space, doesn't weigh 80-100+ pounds, but the prices and differing types is a bit of information overload. I'm still trying to figure out what blades to use as well. Even a $50 diamond continuous rim blade from Home Depot couldn't make it more than halfway through a piece of gem bone before being totally smoked. I bought a notched blade to try and see if I get better results but I'm a bit anxious about chipping off large amounts of material. I've seen that there are specifically "agate" blades online but I don't have enough frame of reference to know what's good, bad, and best. Anything you have to offer is appreciated. I've made the channel but haven't started uploading content but ultimately I plan on showcasing what I have, showing the process, and really just having a channel that new comers like me as well as seasoned veterans both being able to appreciate what I'm showing. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see more 👌🏽
Send me an email at rockhoundinglife@gmail.com and we can discuss it more. I have some ideas for you.
This is so uplifting 😊 I love looove seeing somone who makes it, helping out others who clearly have such passion for it as well! Xoxos!!
Beautiful piece of petrified wood! Doesn't look very shiny though. Try not using paper towels to dry it. Paper towels are a little abrasive. They are more abrasive than your finest sanding disk. Microfiber towels will work best. Good video!👍
Its mirror shine. Camera didnt pick it up well. The piece is 100% silica. Paper towel should have no effect unless there is something in it with a hardness of 8.
Cool video! I have a piece of petrified Redwood my grandfather brought home in the 1940's. It's been sitting for a while but I would love to make some knife scales from it. Any idea who I can contact that can do that?
Yes. Email me at rockhoundinglife@gmail.com
I have several 12" + full rounds from that same forest. Can you cut one of those?
Yes. Email me at rockhoundinglife@gmail.com
Would you do the same on a block of black jade? and where would I send it to?
Yes! You can email me at rockhoundinglife@gmail.com
No one is supposed to take petrified wood out of the park. I grew up in Utah. I read park rules.
This piece likely left long ago. The current owner found it in Missouri being used as a door stop.
@RockhoundingLife , yes, I heard that part. Then you went on to say how you were able to track down where it came from. At that point, I guess I expected you to look up Utah State Park rules and act accordingly. So you told me that taking something a long time ago doesn't matter. This depresses me because of how human beings justify theft because of how long ago it was. Native Americans, (land). along with other very old thefts are just left to be unresolved. I know that one piece of petrified wood is tiny compared to other thefts, but the reaction by those who discover them just let it pass. Sad, really.
