Family Crest Duitgenius in stone-finishing

Now that the whole coat-of-arms is just about in place, I continued with the finishing and detailing of the family coat of arms. On the right it's already nearing the end finish. When this is done I will turn the relief around, to finish and sand all the holes.

Nasty the first message about this project.

    flying buttress figurines Eusebius's Church in Arnhem: an Old Woman with a mortar

    The next flying buttress statuette for Eusebius Church was a somewhat strange lady with a mortar. She was built like an older woman, but with the head of a young girl. She missed a hand and never had any feet. The fact that the head did not fit well was because it appeared to have been done by another sculptor…

    Pinnacle for a flying buttress of St. Cunera's tower

    Currently, St. Cunera's tower in Rhenen, the Netherlands, is being restored. Much of the old tufa is replaced in Muschelkalk limestone. I carved a number of ornaments on some profiled blocks, before (and in cooperation with) my colleague Jan Tolboom. These pieces were provided by stone masonry Slotboom from Winterswijk. The stonemason has carved all of the profiles and flat parts, I for this…

    Panipitha-bonding the spout

    All parts of the large granite panipitha are now ready. Because the granite that I had lying around was too small to carve it out 1 of one piece, I had to make the spout from a separate part and bond that perfectly with the rest. It is glued with strong epoxy glue , supported by 3 thick stainless steel wire ends of…
