He uses a hammer and chisel and some kind of electric grinder. The rock is a come out of a local quarry and is used for patios and walkways. I think it is called "roka laya". He works fairly quickly. Something like this would take a couple days to complete. Maybe three because there is some staining involved

Very interesting. What are the approximate dimensions of this piece? What does he charge for something like this?

Although I have not heard it from Makobob as yet, it looks like he will not be making the trip this year. I just wanted to assure everyone that was planning to come down that I am still planning on seeing as many as possible make it down and I'll be fishing daily and hope you all can join me.

Yesterday's catch from the tin boat.

Bob wishing the best. Cant imagine anyone more positive which is the key to healing. Youre a good role model man.

Rossman in the immortaliZed words of greggo "you suck green donkey di*$!" I bet the adrenaline was going solo with that skinny at the gunnels.

Re shopping the pix. Too bad he cant start the upload before the image is even taken much less processed.
