New Marble Blocks Delivered / by Mike McCarthy

Look what arrived today!! The block for my Cave Hill project arrived today. It is the top block on the stack. It is Sylacauga Marble. I first carved this stone at the Sylacauga Marble Festival. It is a beautiful white marble with a light veining. The block is starting at 4400 pounds and will be somewhere around 800 pounds once it is finished so it will decidedly NOT part of my “Couch Carving” series!! It is always so much fun to get new toys in to play with. Thanks to Karen Terhune for unloading it for me!
