six selections from the series STONEBOATS, which are metaphors for the memories which we carry (cargo) through life's journey.
Untitled - Irish slate, fused glass, dichroic glass, glazed stoneware, schlag metal leafing - 13" x 12½" x 1¾" (33x31.75x4.45cm)
Though I agree with what is said here, for most of my carving (in marble and limestone) I prefer to work with high carbon tool steel chisels. I prefer them because the toughness of the chisel allows a much shallower angle grind to the cutting edges...
ON DECK (LUCK AHEAD) - Italian rosso levanto serpentine, Persian travertine, cast bronze, brass, bone - 11"h x 28½"x 7½" (28 x 73.5 x 19cm)
AVANT ROUGE - dyed/painted Indiana limestone, wax - 17"x 10"x 7¾" (43 x 25.5 x 20cm)
