This is a deer made of stone in a facial wall by
Gene Padgitt. The homeowner saw something similar in a Centurian Stone
catalog and asked Gene if he could do one like it for him with some
modifications. The finished photos will be posted as soon as the rest of work on
the house is completed. These photos are large, so they may take a minute
to load.

A template is made from cardboard - a freehand drawing by Gene.
Luckily, he took art in high school and college.

Work almost done. The antlers are cut from one stone.

The wall is finished. A real antler is installed in front of the stone antler.

The mantel and stove are not finished. Some touch-up on the deer is still
needed.
The stove trim will be changed to black.
Note: this is a dry-lay stone wall with very little mortar.
Almost any design can be done this way - here are some ideas for your
project:
- Moon and star
- Sun
- Wolf howling at the moon
- Trees
- Mountains
