While we're on this topic, would it be possible to use petrified wood as well?
Let me know what you think ;-D
Here's a picture of what I believe to be a petrified mushroom:

No reason why you couldn't use it, but you couldn't claim a naturalistic composition. Petrified wood is another matter entirely. I'm sure it has been used many times.

It's really hard to say.. The only reason I thought it was a petrified mushroom is because there were one beside it that had the exact shape of a mushroom, whereas this one has a flat top. I didn't find it in it's original spot and, unfortunately, I have no clue where it came from. It seems to have rocks embedded into what I'm considering at this point to be the trunk. It's really heavy and rock solid. I'll post another picture I took. It's really weird... I'm starting to wondering if it had been carved or something... I've been researching and talking to a few people and they say it could be anything, but it's definitely petrified something.

You know actually doing a Root over Rock with that would be cool - sort of along the same vein as some of the bonsai work Nick Lenz does.

What a stroke of luck!
I just looked up some of Nick Lenz's work and w-o-w! He does amazing things.. In fact, I had always wondered about using odd objects to nest trees in or to wrap trees around, and that was like a dream realized. Thank you so much for leading me to that
Anywho, I'll take some more pictures tonight/tomorrow morning and post them sometime in the afternoon(EST).
Thanks again =)

However you can certainly use it still for a Nick Lenz Root over rock.

Maybe I'll try to carve out the top of this and use it as a shallow dish with built-in legs.
Thank you for helping me out
