Stone from WA trip

Hello,

This is a piece of limestone I collected during my WA trip up north. It naturally split with a flat base. I was happy that the neck survived the frieght intact.

I will most likely display in a suiban tray for now.

Very nice Agarcia.
We do have some very nice stuff over here. When are you coming back?. I missed the opportunity to off load some tree's

You were interested in M,cuticularis. I had one here

Can I use your name or do you prefer it to stay as is?
As I said I Like that stone very much. Pup

I see that you are referred to as Al so I will, but I will never refer to you as Bonsai Al

Al, nice rock. Will you post pics of the rest? There must be one or two that are worthy. Did i hear 75kgs of stones freighted?
Also we need pics of bougie stumps for Tony.

I've just forwarded this to two suiseki nuts, a friend and the president of the NSW Suiseki Society. Wow... I'm not into stones but this is stunning. Glad it arrived safely and a great find!! Won't you have fun making a diaz for it.

Dear AGarcia,

You are to be congratulated on getting such a beautiful stone back in one piece.
If you put it into a suiban you will need a pretty large and shallow one to show it off properly. Unfortunately, these types of suibans are not readily available in this country.

I would strongly suggest getting or making a daiza for it, now that would certainly make that stone stand on its own importance.

I wish you luck with it and hope to see it displayed somewhere, sometime.

Brenda

Hi AGarcia,

I like the rock. It suggests a scorpion for me

Best regards.

Hello All,
Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, a suiban of this size might be hard to find. My local club had a few larger ones, but they sold out of them. I will see when they do another pot run to the suppliers place.

A dai would look good. I have done woodwork before, but not a dai. I will attempt this on the smaller ones.

BB: Yes I did bring back quite a few rocks, but mainly for bonsai purposes.

I will get some pics of the others on the weekend and post them up.

Pup: Yes WA is a marvelous place. Probably back for your AABC show. When are you coming to Brisbane? We need Demo'ers for our club with lots to share on natives. I think you fit the bill.

Regards
AG

Waiting on an invite

I will see if I can get some more if I have not already sold them. Cuticularis that is. Regards Pup

splendid stone... soon as I saw it, it reminded me of eaglehawk neck and freycinet in Tasmania... maybe it drifted over from there...

If you are looking for a suiban to fit, I can make one for you.

Sounds like an idea. Do you have a website where I can see your work?

I do have a website but it's a work in progress. If you google mudlarkstudiopottery a few hits wil come up and a few more if you google mudlarkpottery. I have one round suiban in stock at the moment and can take a photo of it and post it if you would like.

Sounds Good Mudlark. I will measure up the rock and take an aerial shot of it to get some opinions on suiban shapes.
