Rsmull Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Went hunting in a creek here in Eastern NC off of the Tar river. Found these beautiful pieces of pet wood. The long narrow log is 53"x 7". The heavier piece is 51" x 16" Edited October 24, 2009 by Rsmull Link to post Share on other sites
Auspex Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Are you kidding me?! That's pretty much fantabulous! Any idea as to their age? Link to post Share on other sites

Rsmull Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Are you kidding me?! That's pretty much fantabulous! Any idea as to their age? I have no idea how old but it sure looks like a piece of cedar Link to post Share on other sites

Rsmull Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 I haven't quite figured out how to post my photos directly to the topic so that you can see them without having to click on the photo and also still not able to upload too many pics because my files are too large so I have posted the pics in my gallery Link to post Share on other sites

Nicholas Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Very nice specimen, something that would be considered a show piece even by museum standards. Definitely Grade A. Link to post Share on other sites
Shamalama Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Wow! Very nice piece. I've seen something similar at old timer rock shops but never thought they could still be found. How hard was it to get home? Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenixflood Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Went hunting in a creek here in Eastern NC off of the Tar river. Found these beautiful pieces of pet wood. The long narrow log is 53"x 7". The heavier piece is 51" x 16" Are those insect holes I see in there or was that done by birds? Link to post Share on other sites
Rsmull Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Wow! Very nice piece. I've seen something similar at old timer rock shops but never thought they could still be found. How hard was it to get home? Hey Shamalama, I actually tripped over the 53" long peice, thought it was a log. Almost left it until I poke it with my shovel and realized what it was. It was in about 3 feet of water and covered with algae. I was able to drag it up stream about 400m with a strap then I had to carry it up a 40ft path to my car. It was tough and back breaking.
