Thanks for the update Gargoyle! I was re-reading your earlier posts and something i didn't notice before just struck me. You mention the company that turned the smaller bases. You said they had a CNC machine, not just a stone lathe. Can their machine cut any of the carvings in the bases or just fluting etc.? Even if they could just rough out some of the projections or deep recesses, that would make you able to get to the detail carving sooner. Can this be done?
