Thank you!
Wow. Beautiful.
StunningI live a few miles form there. Silly thing is, you can no longer buy stone from the quarry - the chap who owns it apparently comes down a few times a year and gets some bit, takes them back up to Northampton (I think) and you have to buy from there. I got a good supply years ago when I took down a chimney on a local mansion, the entire thing built from the stuff, which was a mistake. It's a kind of soapstone, so perfect for carving, but shells badly if left outdoors. I've done one or two proper carvings from it and you can carve it with a spoon, it's so soft. Interestingly, it's got so much native iron in it that it'll hold a magnet. It use to be used a lot in church carvings, with one or two lovely fonts fairly local to me.
Straight lines are a mystery to me!
