Carving bases, alabaster and otherwise

Hi,

I am about to need a base for a small (8" tall) found-wood carving. I
am thinking of using alabaster for the contrast, but looking at the
usual carving suppliers don't see any source for small amounts of
alabaster. Can anyone recommend a supplier, or a good source for bases
in general?

Thanks,
Joe Ahearn

its not a biggie...

Hi Will,

Thanks for your note. To answer your question, yep, I can make a wood
base, but this particular carving would look best with a stone base, I
think. I was hoping to find some alabaster, but think I may have found
some marble that will work.

Thanks for posting the link to your carvings. I really enjoyed looking
at them.

Best,
Joe Ahearn

Nice site and very good carvings Will

The sparrow hawk or Kestrel looks like a british sparrow hawk and the
chickadees are very similar to our blue tits.

Nice

Alabaster is found in mountainous regions. I get mine from Colorado...
