Rocks and stones, like I need a new hobby.....

In the garage here is about $20K in stone working machinery.
Living here, is a 70+ year old expert in it's use.

You have to understand..... Power tools+teacher+neat factor..... I can't resist.

This morning I picked up a stone from the parking lot at the range.
In ten minutes, it went from this:



Freehand, to this:



The power is almost unbearable.....

That's really beautiful. I like the Pepe Le Pew stripe with the black and the white.

I had a little Zuni Fetish made out of black and white stone. . a little skunk, but it was lost in the move, too small of an item in too many boxes of bundled newspapers.

I'd like to get another one. . but when you start your sentence "I used to have a skunk fetish. . " people move away from you in a hurry.
