Another petrified Stump-but much larger. One of the most interesting areas to photograph. Highly recommend it.

This was taken with my Samsung Galaxy S10+.

Doesn't this have an alien look to it?

What species was the tree cut? Black Walnut oftentimes has a green tinge to the otherwise brown wood when it’s green (before drying). The bark doesn’t look like walnut but more like a conifer.

I don’t think my sawmill would like those petrified logs! Might dull the blade a little bit.

One other thing, for non-durable woods, a stump left 2-3 feet tall will decay far faster than one less than a foot tall. I don’t know the science of why but it’s true.

Saugatuck Michigan.... a perfect small town to walk through.

Stop in at PHILLS RESTAURANT for lunch.

P2- Very nice set! I really like the color inside the first two.

Syrup sounds like a fun thing to make. Don't work too hard.

Thanks for looking! Much appreciated.

I'm not sure what type of tree it was, but it looked like a hardwood of some kind. I do know along the road I saw that one, at least one walnut tree does grow, whether it's a black walnut or not, I don't know.

I imagine petrified wood would be hard on a sawmill.

I have some of a stump at Huntington Reservation on Lake Erie in Bay Village, Ohio. Cleveland and Lakewood are in the distance in 1 and 2.
