I know it isn’t wood, but I’m pretty proud of this one that I did for a 100,000 square foot house that sits in the wall of their pool, pictures were not allowed at the house itself. Some of my past customers, such as these people do not allow pictures on their property. To take the overhead picture, I was 12 feet in the air on a forklift. It is made from keystone ( ancient coral bed ) It is 10 feet wide and about 6 feet tall when standing upright. The 2 blocks weighed 6,000 pounds apiece, it took me 3 weeks to carve and shape.

Awesome stuff. My father in-law owned a monument business. I love granite and stone work. Call me crazy, but I like to walk through cemeteries to look at the monuments. Thanks for sharing.

I guess since it used to be alive and you carved it and it’s so distictive, it’ll pass. Wow, Dan, show us some stuff you’ve got really good pictures of and I’ll bet they’ll be scary good. Thanks again.
