Thanks for showing us your progress shots on the Pekapeka. It's very cool to see how you cut the shape out, and from that center line rounded the edges of the stone...very clean...very uniform curves. You make it look easy and I know it's anything but easy. I have never worked in stone before, but the work that you NZ cats are showing these days is starting to wet my whistle to give it a try. I know I might be just wishing here, but I would love to see some type of collaboration piece done between you and Paipo...maybe a necklace that incorporates a few different stones or something? Just a thought... Peace
