Ooops... not a good start!! This chunk fell off unexpectedly while roughing out. Back to the drawing board...!!!     (Note I wear steel capped boots when working with stone but not necessarily when taking pictures)	Design rapidly revised. Note the small drill hole on the left  which marks the beginning of the boring through process.
The excavation  progresses. The unworked yellow section  is where the big piece fell off clearly showing the flaw	Final shaped work Refining shapes and textures. A second major flaw in the stone emerged. Fortunaley it can be worked around but limits what can be done with this piece
Semi-final prior to final sanding with the striated yellow colour starting to emerge.	The piece was then washed down with water which gives some idea of what the final polished stone will look like
