Cheers gap, Benz, Tiki Kaimuki and JP.
TK, I am a little behind on sending this guy off but he is now on the way to warmer climes. I've been waiting in vain for some good photography weather. I think he likes it here - it has rained virtually every day for over a month now!
Benz, the water issue is a tricky one...I still get lost sometimes under all the water and streak coming off the stone, and just feel my way through some of the cuts. The good thing with the jet coming from the tip of the handpiece is that you can tilt the carving, so the water runs down and away from the work surface as you cut.
The fires have cooled a little after such a good run recently. I have been working on a couple of projects...one tiki which I think is my largest yet, and another little fella in the 1" range. I haven't done a Marq for a while now...
This was all done carving-wise, but after I put the wax on I noticed a couple of areas that will need some tidying. There is more to this piece than just the carving, which I will probably have done tommorrow....
