In the video below you will see progress on my current Coral & Ebony project. I need to make a disclaimer as you will se I make the same disclaimer in the video. I am working with coral and granite in this video. These 2 materials are harder than carbide standard wood working tools will not touch this stuff. Please be extremely careful if you attempt any thing like this. If this explodes it is like some one throwing a rock at your face. Granite and coral are hard but more fragile than glass. With this project the walls on the coral portion will be no thicker than 3/8” so it is extremely fragile.

I have more done on this project than you will see in this video but that’s for an upcoming video
