Hi Thientrakieu,

Your stone looks good but i like a darker color one for it is more elegant and quite close to nature if we try to analyze,my preference only,if your daiza can be shorter and still hold the stone the better for me IMHO only the color is getting better,give a flat finish not too shinny,find wood that have a bit grain,i hope my taste fit yours also

Hi IBC members.
This is my new stone from Dong giang river. please give me your opinons.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Thientrakieu,
This stone shows a beautifull pattern imaging a rock landscape.
I feel the daiza is not complete in harmony with the stone.

Hi Thientrakieu... Nice to see a lovely pattern stone. Many stones are being oiled & ruined for appreciation. Thanks for sharing this one.

A Japanese-style daiza would give support to the stone with minimal mass. Ideally, it would be undercut & rounded with the belly deeper toward the middle than at each end. Since feet on the daiza should each point outward, those seen on profile at each end be of the same width as the middle foot, but would appear narrower than the middle foot because seen in profile. Here is a rough, squared version of a daiza which would be better with soft curves, but harder to Photoshop... :-)

Thanks for sharing your opinions. I think it's not difficult for me to make a Japanese-style daiza as you show in the picture.

What is it? a cloud? a mountain covered with snow
or a giant wave?

I think it is a Chinese monk named " Duong Tam Tang" in the story " Journey to the West".

Hello Thientrakieu,
I see a sitting figure contemplating.
Hello Peter,
The daiza you sketched as Chris suggested earlier, takes away the ingoing curves on the bottom which gives a stronger base.
An a bit darker, less pink inclined color (more grey) is maybe working better.

Hi Sunip... You make a good point re' the strength of Peter's daiza. I prefer less strength-- the Japanese-style daiza for vertically oriented stones is often extremely quiet & best fitted below the stone's waist. Some examples from my collection...

Japanese stone & daiza ...


Chinese stone & American daiza (nicely fitted by Sean Smith). Years after Sean completed the daiza, I narrowed it, removed a modest wall and lowered parts of the front side to make it less symmetrical. It "feels" lighter. The daiza needs re-staining & finishing-- on its underside, I retained Sean's original medium reddish-brown stain & finish, which I liked. Stones in club exhibits arguably look best if not the same in color & shade. In 2009, this PVSG display was arranged as "Rising Sun Dream" (a New Year's day allusion)...


This coming Monday (January 23) is the beginning of the Lunar New Year (Year of the Dragon). The first full moon occurs on February 8th.

Hello Thientrakieu,
Maybe this one.
It is a very interesting stone and it is difficult to say something about it without holding it in the hand actually.
It evokes many things.
Thanks for showing.

Hello Thientrakieu, this pattern reminds me of distant mountains.

Pine trees on a mountainslope.

Maybe a cloud pattern.
How about turning this stone upside down, maybe there is a bird flying to the sun behind the clouds?

Hello Sunip, Thanks for your interesting explanations.
Here is a new stone I've just found, I hope everybody will give me good ideas.

Hello THIENTRAKIEU ,
I see a girl being hapiness ... because she domesticated the lion lie situated underneath ... (?)
Thank you your share .

Hi Thien,
interesting material, many possibilities,
nice color, pattern and shape...





bath day for the dog

Hi Tran Tan Hung and Stonner.
Thanks so much for your share.
Here is a new stone with a natural daiza. I am looking for IBC members' comments

Hi Trantanhung

I like the stone with the big fall leaf, the collour is nice.
The stone stand well in the other stone.......But I dont like the idea of a stone in a stone.
I would use the stoneseat to showcase a nice piece of old wood. Maybe driftwood.

Kind regards Yvonne

Hi Yvonne Graubaek
I'm Thientrakieu, not Tran tanhung. I'm very happy when hearing you like this stone. You don't like the idea of a stone in a stone
and neither do I.This is a natural wooden seat, not stone seat.
Kind regards Thien.
