Now here's something you don't see very often

In fact, I've NEVER seen anything like it.

My friend David Clark, author of Timber in Australia in Colour (he's Australian and can't spell),  often travels to China and occasionally sends me pics of some of the wood things he sees there. This is a picture of him and a bubinga trunk from Cameroon that has roots growing inside the trunk. David is over 6 feet tall, so as you can see, that's a LOT of growth with the roots inside, although pretty clearly they had not touched the ground for many years before the tree was cut.
