I think they are the cheaper type of burr though. How do you start to carve your pieces, do you carve a marking line first or go straight for the right cutting profile. This is the stone I found on the beach, maybe you can suggest something I can do with it. It has a natural inclusion, removed it would look a bit skull like, play around with it?? Regards Flynny
