more from my stoneworking days

[pixmedic]

The material is Verde butterfly. (or, butterfly green, depending on where you get it)

this is a table centerpiece i did years ago, scalloped with Ogee edging.
scallops cut out by hand with diamond granite blades on a makita angle grinder, and shaped with a diamond cupwheel. rough edging done with a granite water router, finished with a 4" angle grinder using stone wheels and diamond wet polishing pads.
I thought it came out pretty good.
used to make a lot of these for people when we weren't doing kitchens or bathrooms.
good times.

Nice work mate. I used to be an engineer fabricating one off components out of a range of materials, usually steel, alloys, ceramics and plastics. Never done stone though.

It looks good to me but I don't have the knowhow with stone
