My Wood fired Redux

Re: My Wood fired Redux

Thanks DJ. I agree, the paint will finish the chimney off nicely. We are thinking a color similar to the lighter earth tone of the stone used for the base. I still need to seal the granite supports, which will darken them like the arch & keystone.

Sorry, I don't follow...what would you like to do with yours?...I think you are asking about the adze treatment but I'm not sure.

That's it, just the process of taking a piece of rock [your granite arch] and turning into the arch. You showed the process in your subsequent photos you posted.

O.K. gotcha. If you give it a try, be sure to post pictures, if I can help you out let me know.

Re: My Wood fired Redux

No oven work today, but yesterday I got a good portion of the back done, and a base course on one side. Today I sealed the granite supports and the cap, then picked up some paint for the chimney. which will get done tomorrow, along with completing the stonework on the back.

Re: My Wood fired Redux

Completed the back of the oven yesterday afternoon. I should have the two sides done next time I have a chance to work on it.

Re: My Wood fired Redux

Stonework is complete, I finished both sides this afternoon. Leaving for CT in a week so I won't be starting any roofing, but I'll probably finish my door or try to knock out the last of my carving....granite ridge caps.

Left side....





Right side...

Stonecutter,

This is my first post, but I have just started word on my second WFO. Your link to skyline has saved me over $100 just on ceramic FB.

That oven looks great. As a fellow displaced New Englander, I know what you mean about "growing rocks."

I'm glad you are saving a buck, but I'm not sure which link you mean...you sure it was me?

I'm heading up to CT next week. I have a ton of stops, some of which my involve me picking up some soapstone. We are going to a bunch of WFO places in CT,MA and NYC...can't wait.

Were are you in CA? I was born in San Diego but grew up in New England.

Re: My Wood fired Redux

Re: My Wood fired Redux

Sorry for the confusion, I was going back and forth between a couple threads.

Anyway, I lived in Temecula, CA. I am originally from MA.
