H...That radius stone base molding just astounds me. How are they achieving that? How do you bend stone? Are they glueing up wedges of stone side by side, then sanding out the joints to give it a continuous curve, or are these round moldings chiseled out of solid blocks like a sculpture or a statue would be? The latter would ensure a seamless look, but would yield horrible waste. The former would be much better for waste, but would have seams that would take great skill to hide, going through piece by piece until a good neighboring pair looked good together. Either way, it's amazing what they're achieving!Easy_Going_Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05332941140760717239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-76111993966325676772015-08-01T16:24:09.109-06:002015-08-01T16:24:09.109-06:00There are a variety of different Moroni statues. ...There are a variety of different Moroni statues.

When I drive by the temple it looks like they chose the bigger size for our small tabernacle. Everything looks beautiful, but the statue looks a bit too big. I guess I'll get used to it.Mar Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01303588966677733606noreply@blogger.com
