Just finished staining the obelisk and it started to rain. . . .going to leave it out in the rain to see what happens.

good call about the rain. I'll bet you'll get natural distress patterns you never dreamed of (assuming it doesn't just wash off)

Good looking stone!

The rain really left a nice effect. Love the pirate scull too!

Nice trim work on the foam too. Can I assume that you used a table saw to get the nice cheek cuts? Two or three layers of a stain-n-wash finish will make it just like a real stone.

That's a great piece. Beautiful angles that aren't easily accomplished. Nice work.

dave the 'weatherman' got it right. It rained REAL hard last night and took off way more than I expected, although it did create some interesting patterns. Now I'll just do it over following those patterns and then seal it. I'll post before and after shots.

Really nice work, and inspiring, thinking of doing an obelisk myself.

Not being smart enough to quit while I'm ahead, I kept on tweaking it. Now, it's finished.

How to. . . . .first, gather the right supplies!

I agree with you; the right 'supplies' are essential for any haunt project.
Nice work!
