    Very beautiful. But if you used a band saw with a diamond blade you could cut the rock in half and make two out of one rock and save some labor(and save on blades), also a larger concrete saw would help to make deeper cuts, reducing time on carving the bowl

    Nice piece of work. But because of your cuts, someone could miss the very important part - to spill a bit of water before draining the sink hole, to find out the curvature of the inner of the sink and where to drill the hole (it has to be the lowest point of the sink)

    1 year layer - is it worth it? Have you had any issues arise since? Is it difficult to clean the sink? Is the sealer you used holding well? I've wanted to try this for so long but I can't convince myself it's worth it. So cool though, thanks for sharing your journey on this project!
