Kia ora Stoners/Jadis.. Im glad this thread is getting a bit of use.

BenZ: your questions re granite seem to have been answered. I think a quick test-grind would soon tell you if it is going to cut the mustard. Your main problem would be the structure simply rattling apart..
The small desk-sculpts I made in the past..


..are going to be dusted off & polished up for the upcoming show. Not this particular piece but the ones above and another 'group' of similar style.

This fruity looking number is also (half)carved of the same granite.

Welcome Prairie Jade! (aka Numbakulla? Good luck & thanks for your bids!* :wink: ) You certainly seem to know your stones. I have been greatly influenced by the huge hippies Ive met in the past & will probably be one myself one day. I feel I know you already.. :lol:
Do you have any pics of your stone carving? Could we see?

Not-so-new-member Robin: Great looking saw; very masculine :wink: - and better than Ive got..sniff
Very nice looking jade too. Im assuming this is the BC you had coming. Looks incredibly similar to our Sth Westland jade. Plenty of nice patterning and potential, have fun! (and show us your results - do you think you have a TIKI in you..?) :D

*Did I mention a few bonus-bitties for any successful TC member, ahem..

Pdrake: a light-saber! its the traditional tool of the Jadi.. :lol:

Rock on.

Tama :)
