New Stone and Daiza

Here is my latest viewing stone and daiza. I still haven't decided if I will stain or clear coat the daiza. The daiza took about 6 hours to complete and is made of walnut.

Hope you decided to use a dark stain to show off the stone ,I think that would improve the looks. again great stone!! Regards, __________________ Jonathan
