Did the stone "lead" you to the leaf idea while working on it, or did you have it in mind from the beginning? Adrian

A little of both Adrian. I was wanting to carve a leaf and while sorting through some Fire Agates I ran across this stone that roughly had the shape of a grape leaf. I hadn't set out to find a Fire Agate to carve into a leaf but when I seen this stone it was apparent to me that this stone would be the one for the project. I set it aside and after I finished grading the agates I went to work. My carving skill still have a long, long way to go but I have to start somewhere.

Thanks Mary Ann

Wow it seems as though cabbing leaves are the in thing. That is one hell of a grape leaf.
I think I an going to go with a fig leaf although I think I will have to enlist the help of Bobby1 as he has experience with making BIG cabs. LOL

when I am carving I find that I cannot spend too much time all at once as you "miss the forest for the trees" - I need to work about 45 min to one hour then break away and do something else and when I go back I can spot things I did not see while doing the carving to either add more detail or fix up a part that did not look quite right.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
