Well, today I managed to get a good start (nearly 4 hours) on the first of the new stones. A concept for this piece kind of appeared during a meditative period this morning, so I was quite anxious to get started so I could see it, um, "carved in stone" . . . sorry . . .
I'm guessing the weight of the raw boulder at 70 or 80 lbs., but it's already a bit lighter than that. The idea is fairly simple - three series of long rectangular solids intersecting at angles, with a few interruptions to this theme for the sake of surprise. It's hard to see while the stone is dusty, but it is a nicely stratified rose and white boulder and the strata will add another angular element when finished.
