We've recently completed several new sets of bookends and we're going to kick off our new season with a wonderful set from one of our favorite petrified wood deposits ready for your bookshelf! This is an extra large sized set cut from a particularly nice piece of petrified wood. The fossil oaks from this deposit are among the most highly prized of all the petrified woods found anywhere. This darker than average log preserved the fabulous medullary rays and growth rings of an ancient mighty oak tree. The petrified oak wood grain in this true fossil oak tree combined with the colorful preservation from one of Oregon's most prized petrified wood deposits, polished to absolute perfection, just has to be seen in person to get the full effect - good luck!
This is a truly wonderful, gem grade set of bookends cut from petrified wood. The fossil wood used in this set comes from Oregon's famed Deschutes River Canyon. This is the legendary gem grade fossil oak that collectors have relentlessly sought for several decades as one of the most sought after of all petrified woods. This particular piece of petrified oak came from an enormous log we purchased years ago as part of the Burnett estate. I couldn't resist any long and finally cut it this summer. Even after all these years I can forget out how nice this particular wood variety turns out and it *really* turned out nicely!. This particular piece of fossil oak is very well preserved and easily identified by the naked eye. Under magnification we can see rays and hardwood pores that were incorporated into this oak trunk millions of years ago! The agate face reveals both the growth rings and the medullary rays in the richest natural wood tones you've ever seen in stone! This set is prepared with a cut and sloped face along the top edge that reveals the wood grain from a different angle that is equally beautiful. It's incredibly well agatized, crafted like only Sticks-in-Stones Lapidary can, and will make a fantastic natural treasure to add to the high bidder's home or office!
We select only the showiest pieces of petrified wood to cut into bookends. These pieces are carefully cut in our shop so that you end up with a perfectly matched pair, one agate piece is the mirror image of the other. Of course, there are plenty of differences in the two halves, but the photo should let you appreciate how well we do this. The bookends sit perfectly upright and are square to one another. They are felted on both the sides and bottom to protect the books and the shelf. We make sure they are 100% functional on top of being beautiful! Of course, these agates proudly show the perfect polish that the Sticks-in-Stones rockshop has dedicated itself to. The finish looks poured on - but there's nothing there except rock!! This is the only set of bookends we have cut from this log so don't miss this fabulous natural treasure!
This is an extra-large sized set. Each half measures about 12" tall & 8" wide at the widest spot on the polished face. They're cut 1 3/4" thick. Weight for this set is about 23.74 lbs. which makes these bookends suitable for everything from law books, cookbooks, textbooks and novels.
What better way to accentuate a bookshelf or your mantle than with this unbelievable natural work of art!
