Rock Art

Literally around the corner from our home, is this place.  All of these items are made from petrified wood, and are absolutely gorgeous.

We're particularly enamoured by this table and bench-seat set.  The bench on the left is petrified mahogany, the table base is petrified teak, and the table-top and right hand bench are petrified ebony.  Apparently they're just sanded smooth with fine grade paper and then polished.  All up, there's over 400kg here!  Each bench was around 120kg if I recall correctly.
