How Do You Do That?
I have had many people ask how the stone cutting process works. On the 16th while I was working I took some pictures of the the basic steps in the process.
Step 1: Select your stones.
Step 2: Decide where to cut and mark it.
Step 4: I attach a dowel with wax to help hold stone in place.
Step 5: Grinding the edges off of the rough cut piece stone. This is a piece of the petrified wood.
Step 6: Polish the stone. This is a piece of Obsidian Mahogany.

Step 3: Use the small saw to make the rough cuts and remove the piece I want to work with from the slap of stone.
Here are a couple of the pieces I have rough cut.
The substance they are sitting in removes the oil left by the saw.
