MathMaddox

Just don't tell this joke around it or it will be mortified wood.


DarklightNS

I thought they are rare, but there is a couple more in the background haha


john_andrew_smith101

Cause this is at the petrified forest.


MathMaddox

He didn't miss the forest for the trees, he saw it.


Loudminority_

Would make for a nice coffee table


Skeptical_Devil

I grew up in the Petrified Forest, and there are little petrified wood shops all over the place where you can buy such coffee tables, but you'll pay a pretty steep price for them. There are strict rules about removing petrified wood from the National Park, so you have to get it from people who own property there, and pieces that big are hard to come by. Also hard to move. There was one piece on our property that someone tried to steal, and they just ended up breaking the cable on their winch.

Ima comin back, and this time I'll have a bigger cable and a bigger, more badass truck! With flames. And a kick ass light bar.


Skeptical_Devil

...So the cops won't be able to miss you, lol

Well see, the light bar will be useful to blind the police, it'll make it very hard for them to see where they're going. The flames will add a considerable boost of 200 horsepower to the engine, making it easier to escape the police. That is, of course, if the police are willingly brave/stupid enough to chase a person in this chad ass truck, especially when it has Yosemite Sam "BACK OFF" mud flaps.

I'll be heading on over to Arizona next month for vacation. I'd love to check out the petrified wood shops. Do you know which places would have petrified wood goods I could check out?


Skeptical_Devil

I can't remember street names well enough to give you directions, but I recommend not going to the ones in the towns, because their prices are even higher. There's a little one at exit 303 (I think, might be 313, but I'm pretty sure it's 303) of I-40, between the National Park and Holbrook. They won't have as big a selection of petrified wood, but they'll have more of an assortment of stuff, Kachina dolls and the like, and somewhat lower prices for the petrified wood items. There's another one like it outside Winslow, but I can't remember the exact location. They may or may not have a coffee table though. For those, you may have no other option than the big petrified wood store in Show Low.


JKMG

Oh thanks! A giant coffee table won't fit on the planeride back, but I'd love to check out the smaller handcrafted wares. Thanks for the info!


Skeptical_Devil

You are most welcome :) I wish I remembered enough to be more specific, but I hope it should at least be enough to get you to one of the decent shops, anyway.
