Wow, what a great idea. The rooster is inlaid into the wood right?

Now I know how to inlay woods and all, but what did you use to shape the stone? a diamond carving point? a grinder, that sure would take a long time, which I'm sure it did.

Is there such a thing as a scroll saw blade that cuts rock? (I imagine the blade would have to be super thin and be $diamond$ coated and I'd be breaking them left and right). Maybe the metal cutting blades, but those don't cut very thick pieces of metal...maybe on softer stones... excuse me, just thinking out loud. You have my head swimming with ideas, that may or may not amount to anything.

The project really turned out great!

I know I saw one (no pun intended) somewhere But how would you keep it cool?

There's a certain oil used. But even on high I wonder if the blade could run fast enough. I remember reading somewhere here that diamond bits, blades, etc need to run at a high speed.
