jtroth > Making the plaster model for the base for Hideko's stone. Mas starts with a model using polystyrene and plaster. This way he can determine where the rim of the base should be, and how much of the stone to reveal.
jtroth > Hideko's stone with plaster base He paints the plaster model so he can see roughly what the finished wooden daiza will look like. This also helps him figure out how dark to stain the wood.
