We arrived mid January this year and began the next phase on the Temple
To make the final voussoir shape for the last unfinished arch opening, we still had to find one more large chunk of any kind of unused leftover stone somewhere on the property, somewhere
It might be ...
wasting away,
And mark and I needed still.
Searching for that long lost shape of basalt.
( or granite , or even sandstone, maybe.)
I finally found a big chunk of Romero that was large enough to be carved down and shaped into the final keystone.
Juilen did a fantastic job of carving and shaping the final arch stone (with right dimensions and the maximum size shape we could have got out of that odd red chunk of sandstone)
...And with some wiggling and fine tuning it fit beautifully.
I suggested the crown motif at the top of the keystone and carved some foliage on the face.
