Cool picture

A friend of mine was helping someone cut down a large tree that had died after being struck by lightning.
When they cut part of it in half, looking at the cross-section you can see the burned design that the lightning made in the wood.

He took a pic and showed me, thought it was cool and I'd show y'all here.

Very cool. If you look at the very center it kind of looks like the sun setting over some hills and valleys. I hope they didn't destroy that.

Cool pic. Do you know what kind of tree it was?

Cool as hell,,,would make a good informative classroom discussion peice for a science class.

I wonder if there is value in that? Heck, their is for everything else, I wouldn't see why not??

Would make for unique one-of-a-kind furniture peices to an artist, etc.

Not yet.

I asked him to see if he can get me a slice of it, but I haven't talked to him in a few weeks. If I do, I'll post better pics of it.

And heck yeah Jason, I'll bet wood like this might be valuable, it's gotta be I would think.
