The details . . .

Instead of showing the whole stone, which really isn't changing that much in appearance at this stage, I decided to post a couple of detail shots. One of the photos shows that the very top of the piece is nearly finished, while the other is a good example of
how complex things get as two or more forms meet at low angles and disappear into each other. It may seem as if this is getting too involved in a very small area while other parts of the piece are still quite rough, but sometimes continuing with the larger forms depends on being certain that the join between them is going to work out as planned.

Today I'll install a moisture trap in the air line due to the presence of water – a bad thing that will shorten tool life. It's a consequence of the compressor working in a much colder place than my cozy studio.
