The Pieta
A stone sculpture in progress

I started a new sculpture on March 17, 2007. After a short time, I decided to purchase a compressor and pneumatic tools.

Here's an idea I came up with for carving templates made of plexiglas.

Our compressor arrived on March 28,2007. The boys are very curious about the machine.

The pneumatic system is great! There are no stone chips flying all over the room. This is translucent alabaster that I'll place on a stand with a light under it and it should illuminate entire sculpture.

Even the toys worked on this sculpture, as I slept.

Getting closer, all the time.

And he's almost finished, except for more
smoothing.

Here are different views of a honeycomb calcite bulldog that I sculpted.
