Steve Maxwell limestone

Well good morning Phil. This is that stone I was telling you about. Actually this is the layout

It's full-size layout. It's Times New Roman font. I know you'd have to reproduce this on your software

but I just I just did this to kind of show you what I was hoping to do

Paper is the same size as the stone. And this is the limestone I was telling you about

I know this limestone pretty well. It's quite, this is a sawn edge, you can see it's quite solid

The only defects, if that's what you want to call them, are these fossils you see every so often

I've seen these fossils weather for many decades in exposed stone and they don't seem to weather any faster than the stone

So the only problem is where a letter might land on a fossil

I mean you see two here. I don't know where there's others we might run into

I'm not too concerned about that though. It is a dog's gravestone so it's not some polished granite thing

that's going to be sitting in a real cemetery. But do you think it's going to work okay

This is a bush hammered surface. It's nice and flat. And I have seen incised carving done on this kind of stone before and it works quite well

Seems to last well too. I've seen it weathered for decades with no real change

So that's what we've got. My plan is to put this in the ground, kind of flush with the ground

So this is just one of those flat to the ground stones. Anyway, do you think it's going to work? Just let me know. Thanks Phil and bye bye
