The Big Rock Candyless Mountain

  Hand-picked ten yards of stone for a wall in Boothbay. There was no way to get him down once he got up there. Had to airlift...

Stone Symposium Mid-Week

  I stopped by the sculpture symposium again on Wednesday or Thursday and grabbed a few more photos.  It was interesting to see the different levels of progress by the the sculptors.  I never made it back at week's end for the final show, but shots of it can be seen on JC's site, linked in my last entry.

2012 Stone Sculpture Symposium at JC Stone

  This has been going on all week and will culminate in an auction or sale or something this weekend. I have stopped by a few times in the last few days and grabbed a few shots. I leave every time feeling a combination of inspiration and inferiority. Some of these guys have years of experience and some of them are just beginning, but they all seem to share a passion for the art of stoneworking.

Potter Path

  Went out to Appleton to do a path for our friend the carpenter Tom Potter.  The tumbled blue-stone he picked out was a fine addition to his home (which he built, by the way), and we managed to get it in place in one rainy day.

Cultured Stone On Barter's Island

  Here are some shots of a couple hundred square feet of cultured stone we installed on a home in Barter's Island. The customers are friendly--A. actually made us chocolate chip/zucchini cupcakes yesterday-- and the view is amazing.  I am fond of this particular style of cultured stone we are using, as far as c.s. goes, and the installation has been relatively pain-free, when it isn't raining.
