A 3 Foot Diamond blade slices through a medium sized boulder at Walt Rickli's

3 Foot Diamond Blade

"The essence of sculpture is for me the perception of space, the continuum of our existence." - Isamu Naguchi

How do you take a slice out of an impressive granite boulder? Well, carefully, but you use an equally impressive 3 foot diamond saw along with a constant flood of water. This is a small sample of the work that's involved in carving up gorgeous pieces of rock into impressive sculptures.
