Much progress today


Two postings in one day . . . and just hours apart. The photo above shows the stone as of this morning, and then again two hours later. First I covered the neighborhood with a layer of limestone dust using a cup grinder, then I went after the piece with the pneumatic hammer and a flat chisel. I'm thinking about three to four more hours should get the stone ready to start finishing. It has taken a mere 9 hours so far – in stark contrast with my last stone, a white marble piece that took 170 hours (including finishing processes).
