Assume you found a piece of wood from a tree that had stopped living 11,000 years ago.?

Carbon 14 has a half life between 5700 and 5730 years.\n\nSo if you have 100 unit, in 5730 years you would then have 50 units, in another 5700 years you would have 25 units.\n\nIn yourcase, your tree is 11,000 years old. So the original proportion would be 100% and in 11,000 years it would halve once and nearly a second time, so you would be left with about 28% or roughly 1/4 like the first answer said.\n\nhttp://hypertextbook.com/facts/1997/MargaretKong.shtml

Undoubtedly,it was wood from a tree from\nthe area where they were.  The Bible does\nnot tell us what kind of wood was used.

The earth as it was 100 million years ago.\n\nSimple really!

LMFAO!!!  Awesome pic, great question, and no, I don't think you've seen the end of the woodchucking wood question.  =P

That depends entirely on the species of tree, where it is growing and what you want to use it for.\n\nMany tropical and subtropical hardwoods such as Pinus radiata are capable of growing to usable size within 10 years. Other species may take as much as 100 years.

bristlecone pines have around 4,600 tree-rings and are still the world's oldest living organisms. (Bristlecone pines are native to the Rocky Mountains of the United States.)\n\nBUT, maybe its not since.. \nOn a wild Tasmanian mountain there is a magnificent, recently discovered stand of Huon pine trees that has been called the world's 'oldest known living organism'. \nIt is hard to see how a tree could be older than the time since the biblical Flood, so if its published age of ,more than 10,500 years old' were correct, then this would present a serious challenge to Old Testament chronology. In fact, some media reports claim the tree 'could be 30,000 or 40,000 years old'.

Made from Redwood trees ? you are a moron ! I'd like to see a redwood totem ! How the hell would they erect it ? Move it ? Even chop it down ! before Modern saws it was impossible to fell these giants !

If this is an old, old tree and is free of severe insect damage then you have a small fortune on your hands!  I suggest going to E-bay and sell to the highest bidder.

Probably, it would depend on how well it was carved, the size, how it's decorated, etc

Dinosaurs died 100,000,000 years ago. \nThey're gone! Get over it.

I was looking at the images on livescience.com yesterday - but despite the useful red circles and scale maps telling me how big this 'anomaly' is, all I can see is ice and rock.\n\nSurely something 2000+ years old and made of wood would have perished in such an exposed location? I know human remains have been found in the French/Italian Alps pretty intact but they were buried under metres of snow and ice...

If you want to know about a currently living tree, then this is it.  Ten thousand feet up in California's White Mountains lives the oldest living thing on Earth. It is a bristlecone pine that was around when the Egyptian Pyramids were built. Ironically, after weathering all the droughts, high winds, and lightning strikes that must have struck over the millennia, the nearly 5,000-year-old Methuselah Tree now faces threats from the one force of nature that seemingly can do it harm: people.

Condition that they shud be planted again...else they are no longer renewable source with rapid destruction of forests. As they grow again n again they are renewable.

For most trees it is between 5 - 10 years.
