What were the following steps after you cut and fitted all the pieces together? What did you use as a finish?

Yes did you use drylok? Also did you have anything on the inside to make it more stable?

Awesome paint job. Love it!

Let me refer you to the tombstone tutorial that I used for my finish:

I used two coats of Drylok. There is a lot of surface area so it used quite a bit of the gallon. There is no internal framework. Once the Liquid Nails dried, it was rock solid and is featherlight.

it looks great whats it made of

Heh! I missed the "no" in the quote above, so I thought the .pdf file was a CAD drawing. I got quite a chuckle when I saw your technical drawing instead.

Thanks for providing the measurements, though. I definitely want to make one of these and I can only hope it comes out half as good as yours. Great job!

Love the obelisk. Interesting about having two names on the same stone.
