Day 8 - some refinement starting

Even though there are parts of this piece that are not yet in final shape, I've started to refine some of the forms  -  can't help myself! I'm finding that this Utah alabaster is a bit more difficult to work than the stone from Colorado I've been using for about a decade. It sometimes loses chunks in unexpected ways and the rasps tend to clog with material. Nonetheless, I'm still quite excited to see how the translucency of the stone will appear in bright light when it has its final surface. About 2 weeks?
