This is not bedrock and not carving, I’m 100% sure of that.
A hundred percent sounds a bit much—where does that confidence come from? From the fact that the same thing showed up in my little lab while I was messing around with Inca “stone softening.”
If it’s not bedrock, then what is it? I wouldn’t call it casting; it’s more like a kind of plastering: a layer of artificial Inca stone smeared onto the real bedrock underneath.

I have just had the opportunity to be guinea pig for a proposed stonecarving course at @SalisburyCath next year, and this is my effort at a green man. I'm rather pleased with him. Makes a change from running the shop...

We hold many fundraising events during the year to support local causes. A charity that is close to our heart is the @WiltonRda who needed funds for their outdoor arena. It was a pleasure to help them & be there today with our Honorary member Lord Pembroke to see it in opened.

I genuinely believe that our 🇬🇧 rail system is ripe for technology transformation. Ticketing and information for a start. Seem to remember a recent study/report implying a ticket change was unviable. 🤷🏻♂️
