I know... can you believe that?
Ok, I have something interesting (and DIBI related!!!)...
Please look VERY CLOSELY at this bad photo of my block:
I see a silhouette ghost/spirit, walking through lava flows, with demon faces to the right looking down at him... The 'demon faces' wrap all around the sides and to the back... it's FAR more noticeable in person than the pix, because of the visible depth. Looks like Dante's Inferno.
The side (it's drying so not as dark as when wet):
The other side is a big circle, like a cavern, with the faces flowing out of it... tho if we sand from that side (for the thickness), not sure we could preserve the symmetry as it is now once sanded down to mod size. Am more concerned about the ghosty image in the first pix, and the demon edge above.
Do you see the broad back of a ghosty man, turned towards the tall skinny walking woman on the other side of the block? See the round knothole that looks like a portal?
Top left of the pix is a helmeted demon with ribcage and flaming streaming upwards hair?
Closeup:
If you look closely, looks like the helmeted demon has screaming skulls for the eye sockets, screaming skull hand, reaching down towards ghost man, who's trying to move towards ghost woman on other side.
Well, the man and the nifty demon are going to get sanded away to get the block down as wide as my current dibi... this block is nearly 2x the thickness of my current dibi, but not quite.
My entire dibi stops exactly at where both the man and the woman figures legs stop on the block, with about 1/8" clearance on the top for leveling and cutting the caps, that's assuming the cap in wood, top and bottom.
(I sent the above to Pdib and Val. Now both think I'm on very strong drugs).
Sooooo... this block is GORGEOUS. AMAZING even... but the block is nearly 1 1/2" thick, so one cool looking image would be obliterated to make a dibi. Alternatively, I can just round the sides and make it into some kind of holder if I hollowed it out, as is.
Are the 2 abstract looking 'images' good enough to keep intact? At the least, the side with the abstract man will be completely gone.
(it's waaayyy more depth and chatoyancy viewed in person than the phone snapshots can show).
