philippine viewing stones/suiseki

hello everybody! merry xmas,,heres my waterfalls i include a pic of a daiza....

Hi Sancho

The daiza look very nice with the stone...What kind of wood have you used?.

Kind regards Yvonne

thanks peterbrod...hi yvonne thank you also,,,the wood i use is we called it kamagong here in the philippines,,
i googled it and says its mahogany in english...

best regards and merry xmas

Kamagong is Ebony Persimmon and is an extremely hard wood. Japanese pays a premium for furniture made of those. It makes nice fighting sticks (arnis) or police truncheon as well. It is sad that some Filipinos just use it to make charcoal. Sorry, the (hobby) woodworker in me kicked in.

The rock is awesome.

Beautiful stone and daiza!

Kabayan Sonny,

Where are you in the Philippines? My family came from Ilocos and Pampanga but I grew up in Manila. As a child, I remember us buying charcoal and kamagong is the preferred variety.

poink88,

Hi Sancho,

Your stone is nice.
Can you tell me how to look for stones in Philippines? Last time during the ASPAC convention in Manila, there was a vendor selling good stones. But I could not find it later on.

Sunip

hi sunip,
tnx,,i will make a daiza for this stone and post it again...

Helo Sonny.
As you know, on a daiza there is normally no water used in the pool of the stone.
How about a dark colored larger oval suiban with sand?

Hello Sonny,
Is this nice stone telling us the myths of the universe?
Sunip

hi sunip,
first time i saw this i was really really amaze,i told my self is this true? we all know about the fossills, but this one its all natural stone...by the way the size of the stone is (LxHxW) 5in x 3.75in x 2.75in.i acquired this stone from a friend a native here in the phil. he painted the stone with a varnish, i am panning to clean this and make a daiza,,im so excited to post this and share it with you all pls enjoy and think....is this a proof of a supreme being?

best regards,,
sonny

These are obviously fossilized shells imbedded in the material that eventually turned into stone. Nice way how they got exposed though.

good day to all,
i have here another pattern stone only a few pattern here so i decide to dig a hole on the stone to examine the material and base on my opinion its all natural stone,,heres the photo of the stone....




this stone and the previous stone owned by a friend whom i acquired this...
tnx,,
sonny
