I found lots of petrified wood while rockhounding in East Texas. In this video you will see the amazing transformation the pieces take as I tumble and polish them.
Hey Jenny, Thanks for watching! It’s funny you should ask me now because I’m in the middle of rebuilding and modifying one 😆. I’ve never used the Lotto but I’ve tried just about all of the rest and right now my go-to is the Raytech Adjusta-Vibe 18. I was using the Thumler’s UV-18 but the motor housing wore out which is why I’m currently rebuilding it with the Raytech motor 😉. For a recommendation I would say look for a Thumler’s UV-10. Good luck!
Your petrified wood tumbles are amazing - you are so lucky to have so much of it naturally around Texas. I've always wondered whether you could tell the species of tree by looking at its grain patterns. I know you can tell palm trees apart from the rest quite easily, but that's probably because they aren't actually trees to begin with.
Scott, love all your tumbles but petrified wood is my favorite. These are awesome ! Best rock hounding channel, Thanks
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’ve got lots more videos ready to go so stay tuned…..
They came out with great texture !! i like watching to you achieved here. Such cool rocks and minerals ❤❤!!

They came out great! I need to leave my wood in longer in stage one. I like the look you achieved here. Well done.
Thanks Peter! Patience is definitely a virtue in our hobby.
Great shine on these! These were a great find and they came out amazing!

I got some in now stage 1 hopefully they turned out as well as yours ❤
I hope they turn out great! Mine were in the coarse stage for a couple of months 🥴.
@@spwinaustin my pet wood about the same 🫤
These look wonderful. My Lot O Tumbler motor seems to be on its way out and I was wondering what vibratory tumbler you would recommend?

My favorite tumbles are petrified wood to. 😊
The variety of colors and patterns is what excites me 😁. Thanks for watching Alice!

I’ve often wondered the same thing 🤔. I bet an arborist would have good shot at identifying the original tree.
