Many thanks to Peterbrod and Chris...what would I do without you





As everybody can see, is the seat ten times better now....all feet have the same sice too

Hello Yvonne,
A big improvement.
Simplicity and power.
This one shows a face.
The second stone has a peaceful inner space.

Ms Yvonne you have done good work,

Hi Sunip and Chris

Many thanks to both of you, I am happy you like my work. Chris who see the landscapestone I can relate too, and Sunip who never fails to see something else/more.

Many thanks to to you Stonener too. You can find the Doha early in this topic ( my danish stones).

Hi Vlado
As prommised...a dremmelmade inside





Kind regards Yvonne

While the bottom inside of the daiza need not be stained, it should be sealed to discourage warping. All surfaces need to be sealed unless a daiza's wood is so oily as to preclude sealing and only requires buffing.

Nicely carved!

Hi Chris

Many thanks ...and no problem, it will be done asap.

Kind regards Yvonne

Kind regards Yvonne

Hello Yvonne,
I think i do remember this stone.
I tried something with the daiza, what do you think?
Sunip

Hi Sunip

Your suggestion is how I made the seat in the first place, as I only/mainly was looking at the rounded tops. ...but I found it was heavy, and a bit boring....

The stone has, apart from the rounded tops, wonderfull sharp lines and details in the hard surface, and to me is the little sharpnes in the seat refreshing, and not too much.

In case somebody should find the one frontleg a mm. wider than the other. Is it because the cameraangle is slightly wrong no need for a new photo.

Kind regards Yvonne

I had to make a change on the seat...it took me some days figure it out, and to pull my self together, as this was a very dificult task ( carvers will know)....I took a deep breath and removed some of the rim from the left side.
It was needed, as the ballance turned out to bit a bit off.





From this have I learned, that it is now better, to give my self much more time and space, before I consider showing my work.

Kind regards Yvonne

Hi Yvonne, oblique line on the stone and horizontal dai repealed impression

Hi Peterbrod

I understand your want to use the horizontal line.....Normaly the right choise..

But in this case will you understand my choise, if you have the stone in your hand...My way of placing the stone, is what the stone want. It was made to stand like this, showing ALL the lovely parts, the inside of the shelter is also VERY nice.

If I use your idea, will the stone miss out a huge backcorner, and the stone will have to be cut, with the loss of lovely parts from the inside (shelter), and the outside.

But many thanks for the virtual...always interested in your ideas.

Kind regards Yvonne

Kind regards Yvonne

My first seats was carved 2 or 3 years ago....I only carved very few, as I did not find stones in Denmark....Much later I learned something else. This one was one of my first.



It is not one of my proudest stones. But I happens to like it, maybe because of the fact, that this stones surface is compleetly untouched...no handcream, and no indoor yoseki....I felt like giving the stone a update....found a new front


Stone standing 10 cm. wide and 8 cm. tall


The backside not bad either...This stone can stand in the middle of a room.

I hope you like it...

Kind regards Yvonne

Hello Yvonne,
The simplicity of the stone is something i like very much.
The new seat is much better, i like the color of the wood as well.
I was curious how it would work when...
so i played a little.
Sunip

Hi Sunip

You have the right to deslike my work, again and again....It would be more constuctive of you, if you showed me something original, isteadt of taking the ballance out of work i already made.

Why not take the photo of the danis granitslope stone further up this topic, and design something usefull for this stone.

Kind regards Yvonne

Hi Yvonne... I don't think Sunip dislikes your work. His constructive illustration of tucking feet under the stone rather than extending them far-beyond where the stone appears to turn-under was shared to bring more attention to the stone and less to its seating. It is reasonable advice for daiza-design unless the intention is to create a Chinese-style platform as is often paired with Furuya-ishi limestone mountain ranges.

The design Sunip shows me here, takes the ballance out of the design....The stone is squised out of the seat, the seat becomes to high, and the feet becomes too large.
My intension with this seat, was not to make it small...I have looked at japanese photos, and find they often have some sice, more than I have used to do.

Kind regards Yvonne

My second reply.....

What I wanted with this seat, was to extent a shape to help a simple stone, to look more like the vulcanomountain stone it is....the seat is not big and owerstyled.
The feet are under the seat, and that is enough, as far as I can see in the books I look at.
If I make Sunips design, will the stone look like a simple stone without a style....more like a breakfastegg to me.

Kind regards Yvonne

There is reason for daiza-design choices, but not every rational a collector chooses is reasonable. Sometimes there are limitations because of the stone' underside protrusions. Should the daiza accommodate a deep stone protrusion. Some will cut the stone; others will await a better naturally-contoured stone for mounting. Browsers must distinguish advice that leads to better choices.

If a stone visibly tucks under on one end, it should tuck equally on the opposite end the stone's LEFT/RIGHT sides. It is a part of the sanmen-no-hou/"3-surfaces" guidance. If the landscape-view stone's foot rises vertically or extends outward on one end, it should do so on the other. Yvonne has a vertical rise on the right end & an under-tucking on the left end.

Yvonne's preference to represent a volcanic mountain is a arguably difficult for this stone. A volcanic mountain (or island) has straight or modestly concave profiles falling from the right & left of the peak to the stone's foot. A volcanic island might be represented with a steep cliff at its foot which breaks from the lava flow. Yvonne's mounted stone has a significant convex profile from its peak to the daiza's right-end. Does the right-side suggest a volcanic landscape profile?

A Japanese stone (mounted in Japan) in my collection of similar contour (also, not very suggestive of a volcanic landscape view). The mass of its daiza is less distracting & the small feet add to the daiza's modesty & elegance...
