I have been doing wood carving for many years and just started gearing up to work with stone and minerals. I have many hundreds of pounds of Pennsylvania Calcite to work with. Your pieces beautiful.Take care.
Hi T Barny, great video and I like how you've mounted the sculpture. Please could I ask, did you buy or make the stainless steel pin and inserts? Do you have a video on you drilling the sculpture? Did you start with a small drill first and then go larger until you got to the insert size? Thanks in advance for your help!
Your sculptures are amazing! It would have been nice to have a verbal or written explanation of what you are doing and why, though. Even just adding a few words of text here and there, like what tool you're using, or what that is you're spraying on the sculpture.
