[@kristolball]

A great video. Thank you

[@scottowens1535]

The original art, tuff to find word's for the excellence I see here. Talk about having a great time working hard, this is a dream! The Wonder waiting to be set free in the very next cut! This is awesome! I'm A sawmiller and I understand cutting boards, this is over the top of anything I've ever considered, wow!!

[@tashacherry1480]

I'd never leave my table of I had one of those! I'll remember this if I ever hit the lotto!

[@Shirlee-gn5ux]

A very beautiful life's work

[@jbelme1]

Thank you for sharing with us. A very unique way to preserve history. Our Louisiana petrified wood is rather bland. I know they find entire logs in a lignite mine near Alexandria.

[@ExpertOfFX]

ABSOLUTELY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING THIS LAPIDARIEST HAS EVER SEEN IN HIS LIFE!

[@babs271980]

Watched this video a few times. I'm just at awe. This kind of talent, care and collection of such beauty is just unbelievable. It's as if this wonder of nature found the perfect man to capture the wonders of a time that once was. 🌲🌳🌴🦕🦖

[@Tracys_Little_Patch_of_Dirt]

I don't think I could ever part with any of those pieces. I would spend all day just looking and touching them. They are beautiful pieces.

[@jimdutcher6678]

This is such a great video. Really enjoyed seeing and hearing about each piece. Thanks for sharing it

[@rodwhite9737]

This is probably the best piece of video I have seen on KZbin. This is artwork made by nature. You guys are brilliant. I bet they fetch a pretty premium.

[@americanrebel413]

This is so amazing, I never dreamed anything could be so beautiful! I'm flabbergasted!

[@huskyfluffy]

This is exquisite! You are amazing! This makes me cry! The most beautiful combination of Mother Nature and humans, collaborating to make stunning art!! I'm really blown away! Thank you,

[@rickchipman4477]

Incredible indeed. Amazing results.

[@trippingonrocks1165]

Wow they have polished up so beautifully. Thank you

[@carlmanx1680]

Amazing Pieces!!! I have been to the "petrified Forest" when I was young and I remember the beautiful slices they had. But they were much MUCH smaller. And too truly experience the beauty of what this man has is too see it up close and personal.

[@zaugitude]

Amazing! A true artist and appreciator of natural beauty. Would be great to tour the workshop and see the cutting process.

[@suejarrard2221]

Stunning pieces! Thank you for sharing

[@ant-1382]

I was searching for this video, watched it once before, finally found it. So interesting.

[@carriedaway1195]

Absolutely beautiful work you have done! Love your passion for your work, you should be very proud. Your pieces are just stunning!

[@anotherday8106]

You should be proud they are absolutely beautiful. Most beautiful stone I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing.

[@jimnorman4885]

Such a beautiful display of the excellent work with incredible examples of past millennia Thanks so much Sir

[@lizzymoore54]

Gorgeous! What a wonderful way to make a living. Beautiful.

[@ohioartifactdude5658]

I thought I had seen petrified wood before now I know I have. No words for the stunning works of nature's art.

[@DR_SOLO]

this video has me looking at the Earth's ground surface differently. I think I'll possibly consider that the ground is giant trees that fell over and petrified over time and just now being resurfaced in certain areas

[@joebishop4316]

Very nice collection, it really nice to see some of them big logs still around, don't see them much anymore.

[@allguard001]

Thank you for sharing this with us. It's wonderful to behold these old fossils. I wish I could look at these pieces of history every day. They are so intricate and like you said, "Instructional".

[@rodwhite9737]

You can look at those pieces of history everyday. Just pin youtube to your computer and watch the video everyday. HA HA HA! Just kidding. I know what you mean. They're such awesome pieces to look at. Wow!

[@mohammudhaujee7831]

Very beautiful! I really enjoyed the video and thanks for showing us. God Bless you Mr. Ralph Thompson.

[@sharonstout4977]

Your art is dynamic! Thank you.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Wonderful, Beautyful, Amazing, Stunning, Gorgeous, Fantastic, Exquisite, Noble, Unique !!!! Yes Sir, you can be proud of your work definetely! Thanks a lot for showing these so beautiful items which I like to call "Art by nature" now! I wisch U all good health so that you and your workers are able to do this fantastic kind of artwork for a long time.

[@Ogsonofgroo]

Natural things turned into such beautiful pieces, I doff my hat to you good sir, fantastic work man! Cheers from the PNW Canada.

[@indra3331]

Amazing! Would love to see these in person.

[@carlmanx1680]

I know right! The only way is in person with any stone such as that.. as well as agate. 😀

[@jaguarsky55]

Stumbling along the riverbank, find a ten pound section of petrified wood; does ridiculous happy dance. Sees this guy's collection; DAMN!

[@albertocastro4952]

Lo felicito , su trabajo es increíble. Gracias por mostrarnos esas bellezas de millones de años. Me encanta la madera petrificada. Soy de Costa Rica. Dios le continúe bendiciendo.

[@cathifamjourney469]

They are all so beautiful!

[@bandilla7317]

awesome idea

[@norman102745]

Magnificent work.

[@kaleoariola]

Gorgeous pieces!

[@markviereck4547]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@ericmhazen]

Very nice, we are now thinking about getting one as a piece of art for the new home.

[@adamrodgers9175]

I'd absolutely love to this place, man that is incredible.

[@thinkcivil1627]

I have a stump that my grandfather carried out of the Arizona area close to 100 years ago. I've love to slice it to see what is inside.

[@JanVafa]

Truly works of art!

[@randywl8925]

Incredible sizes. I have a rather dull looking section of a tree trunk. Its probably 16 inches in diameter and 20" tall. It weighs about 250 lbs. I vasy in place a 2 1/2" thick concrete top to make it into a mushroom like table for my deck. It would be interesting to take a slab off the bottom to see if the inside has any nice features. The outside is gray and black... Noring nut interesting. Wow! The stuff you have is mind blowing. Thanks for or sharing it. 👍

[@fayzemourie7776]

GREAT PIECES OF HISTORICAL TREES

[@lucianopinto3343]

Very nice!

[@alesjamsek1199]

So beautiful !

[@MikeyJ686]

I would love to make a coffee table from a rectangular piece...very cool

[@jcnme]

Absolutely Beautiful !

[@kurtw176]

Yes! Be very proud. Excellent

[@naclcreep2505]

This is amazing. I didn't know pieces like this existed. Are there petrified wood fields/forests in other pats of the world or are these larger fossils totally unique to the wester United States?

[@WckdLlThngz]

Beautiful

[@willowwisp6401]

I would Love to have something like that for a table top in my house.

[@ArizonaBob]

Beautiful collection! Will check out the rest of your channel. Liked and subbed!

[@phramghao3950]

Awesome pieces from US. 👍I got a small pc from Myanmar, just a collection and decoration in my room 😎

[@jeffren70]

When I was a kid my family went to someplace way out in the middle of Oregon and every rock there was petrified wood. I saw a knot from a giant tree that was as tall as my dad. I also saw a giant log with just one side exposed in a bank. It must have been 8 feet in diameter and at least 50 feet long. One day I hope to find that spot again.....

[@keith2915]

He is right the good ole days are over you will never get that again 💯 PERCENT right

[@patriciaguzman769]

exelente trabajo . muy interesante

[@PeetahIzKewl]

Art with history

[@kicsilo]

Fantasztikus !

[@MACorrupt]

I live right near this guyI have to check this out and see if he sells any small pieces even cabochons

[@lindaolson7480]

Absolutely beautiful. What type of equipment do you use to make these large cuts?

[@jaycotrodeld6426]

Very nice and gemme

[@benjamingoulet8059]

Teach me, I may know of a place in Washington with a bit of wood

[@jamesspiker6024]

Beautiful I couldn’t part with any of it 👍

[@pedraspreciosasdoBrasil]

Like muito bom like, ✌👍😁😇

[@lavinleitrim44]

Please tell me other people can see the predatory bird flying out of the Navajo Wood table 7:58 ? Top centre?

[@lavinleitrim44]

lol, and now I see the whole picture, its like a prehistoric bird flying over a waterfall through a valley, I adore that it's all curved/warped like we see through birds-eye view. What a beautiful piece, I could stare at that all day finding 'things' in it. I love the Arizona piece at 3:05 , that I would hang on a wall, it looks like a painting of a tree. Im probably going to love loads more seeing as im only 8 min in yet.

[@tashacherry1480]

I want one bad, question...how would you get it in your home?

[@ShowmeMOrocks]

This is why there isn't anything left out in the wild

[@CV-wo3wm]

That's not true at all

[@nicholashenning7334]

Nice stuff,do you still purchase large logs, I'm a collector from Iowa and have a six foot long log two and a half feet round to large for me to work with, thankyou for the video.

[@ralphthompson2375]

I do buy logs but only very nice ones. What part of Iowa? I grew up in Glenwood.

[@joewolfy0074]

much abundant

[@markrouse2416]

The good old days are not over..you just have spend more time locating specimens at deeper depths.

[@joshjosh5185]

i love all this stuff you are showing in this clip but i wont buy it just yet and i don't even know where the shop is and do you also have other gemstones like aquamarine and others to, if you do that would be alot of help.

[@nicholasregester1714]

Josh Josh there is not a store front to visit. Ralph mostly does wholesale shows. Check out russellzuhl.com/pages/contact-russell-zuhl for contact info. Also, he does not work in many other minerals.

[@markforeman3101]

How long does it take to torne to stone

[@supermodelist]

Very nice😍 but is it legal to collect such piece which is canot ever be replicate by humans?😅

[@rodwhite9737]

How much are the small pieces on felt?

[@thmpick]

Where is your shop? My wife & I would like to visit it I'm May-June 2017..... You have nice pet wood!

[@nicholasregester1714]

Rooster Rider there is not a store front to visit. Ralph mostly does wholesale shows. Check out russellzuhl.com/pages/contact-russell-zuhl for contact info

[@cquintana9326]

I don't think that site is up anymore.

[@r0bbyinchins]

That's some beautiful shit AND WHAT NOT

[@symonsheppard5519]

Even rarer now you dug it up and sliced it all.

[@rhigel2269]

And your point?

[@korpakukac]

His point is nothing. He just wanted to spew shit without thinking.

[@notbad4-45]

Symon Sheppard people cannot leave anything alone... especially white People. They go into countries and push the inhabitants in the corner and take over and they cannot leave anything prehistoric in the ground. You are just less selfish than the others are.

[@janerecon4098]

Hi sir we have a big big pearl if you are interested please let me know here is my whatsapp [phone] thnks

[@MrMinigun457]

I just want a stump this guy has the whole damn forest lol I love the sequoias so jelly

[@joewolfy0074]

that stuff is still very

[@mawi1172]

They are fine pieces, indeed. But Proud is a dirty state of mind; instead be thankful to Christ Jesus for each blessing.Amen Shalom.✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@richardfletcher489]

These are very nice, but if not for companies like the one you have, then there would be logs on the ground to see. So from us John Q Public people Thanks.

[@landowbeatz6328]

dope

[@jayd7022]

Imagion that in the room while you're tripping

[@DoctorLightMusic]

sad these are sold and not in a musuem

[@carriedaway1195]

DoctorLightMusic He mentioned that several of his pieces were in museums.

[@nicholasregester1714]

There are many of these pieces on public display around the country. If you would like to see them in person, the most amazing collection is at the New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. Specimens can also be seen at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, and the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History.

[@jcnme]

DoctorLightMusic Then You Should Buy them ALL and Donate Them ! Next time Listen...... they're heavy and you have to dig them up and transport them and cut them and polish them..... Very Labor Intensive ! Oh yeah that's right you weren't listening......

[@korpakukac]

DoctorLightMusic How do you think museums get their stuff? They buy most of it from people like him. If you really believe things in museums come from Indiana Jones adventures, then you really need to have a reality check.

[@zoesdada8923]

DoctorLightMusic he puts forth the effort. Go out and find them and polish them or shut up. Whichever comes first.

[@keith2915]

Make sure you put them all in shipping crates it make me sick if an earth quake broke them

I was proud of my slabs of agatized wood, about the size of a softball. Now I’m just sad.

[@acidburn4159]

For 26k a perfect table for ur desk in ur room

[@jessewilson8676]

Ok time for a drinking game every time he says what not take a swig.

[@fenwickc2274]

where the fuck does he just find it ?

[@Protus87]

...and what not :)

[@zoesdada8923]

There is no Dana only Zuhl.

[@joewolfy0074]

that not true you just have to know where to look!

[@jaysonschor]

Only for the special low price of 50 grand.

[@bryanpinto4051]

a computer isnt making that

[@zzdoodzz]

I bet the rich folk pay a lot of money for these.

[@porkchopspapi5757]

Boot. Well the poor sure don't.

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

I bet very productive, hard working people who add real value to the lives of others and create good paying jobs and plenty of tax revenue pay a lot of money for these.

[@popeantichrist8847]

I'll take your ugly pieces for a petrified wood floor:)

[@keith2915]

Man alive God new what time it was when he let them get as beautiful as the came thus far so you love to say man made them 😂 lol that real funny the big bang done it 🤣 even funnyer no you are breathing because God let's you you alive because he allows you to God created everything that ever was and will be created oh sure man used everything he had that God made and they make man-made stuff out of God stuff God's creation
