Leafwork carving

Assembled on Andy's workshop floor

The roughed out carving assembled on my workshop floor to check the fitting and flow of the carving across the joints. Donegal sandstone is not a pleasant stone to work in, ruining many chisels and diamond cutting blades

Limited available stone sizes made jointing a major challenge around the ornament, to avoid feather edges and weak sections

The finished carving set within dark grey Kilkenny limestone pediment surround
