Default the island:)

next up we started to work on our island , we didnt want to use multiple small rocks to build the structure we were hoping to find either one large one or two large ones joined together.

to get the look we wanted we ended up with two large rocks , out of the box they weren't exactly a perfect fit but had the right profile....just needed a little trimming

out came the old saw again and we started cutting to what we wanted



problem was neither rock had a flat bottom to it so one had to be trimmed in order to fit comfortably on the other rock






about this much had to go :















repeat as necessary


getting there:
