The Pieta
A stone sculpture in progress

I fell in love with stone carving and ordered two more stones. Here's Baby' checking out the delivery box. The dirty wall came from Zack, our bulldog that died in August, 2005. I just haven't been able to bring myself to clean up his favorite sleeping spot.

Here are the boys checking out the new stone. The stone in the foreground is amber calcite, and the one in back is alabaster. This is not a hobby for sissies. The calcite weighs 77 pounds and the alabaster weights 33 pounds.

Here's the alabaster stone before I started work on it. This was taken on 11/30/06.

Here's an image of me carving a bulldog out of alabaster.

Here's an image of my work taken on 12/4/06.

Here's my work as of 12/5/06. There's still a lot of finishing that must be done before he's completed.

I finished the sculpture on 12/14/06
