The last load of stone that I bought was 5 years ago - on my 59th birthday June 15, 2020. I'm getting ready to order another load, so I asked myself, "What'd ya do with the last one?"
The block with 11.2 painted onto it weighs 11,200 lbs.
I cut it into 2 preforms: this one...
...and this rectangular piece from the top right of the block.
The main piece became "One Way or Another", which was sold to the City of Pfugerville, Texas.
The other piece became "Go With the Flow" which is on exhibit at the University of Louisville Alumni Center.
This 10,000 lb. block became...
"Thunder & Lightning"
and the top right corner of the block became this KY Ridgeback Dragon.
This 6,000 lb. block became...
"A New Dawn"
I had a quarry block cut into slabs.
The 16" slab and 3" slab made the base for "Hope" which was installed at a private estate in Oldham Co. KY.
A piece off the end of the 16" slab became the base for "Boost".
The two 8" slabs and scraps from the 3" slab became benches and bird baths.
This is "Growing Together".
"Geyser"
"Mushrooms"
"Cloud 12" which is the only one that hasn't sold yet.
"Wild Rose" is the only bird bath that hasn't sold yet. All the others found homes in the Louisville area.
"Quadrillium"
"Carpe Diem"
There are various smaller corners that might have become smaller pieces or bases. Some are still laying out in the weeds waiting for their turn to be carved. But this accounts for the main bulk of the load.
