Suiseki Daiza building

[James H]

I have a stone that I found that I would like to make a daiza for and display but have been having a hard time finding information on building the daiza for the stone. Does anyone here have a good website for carving out the daiza for the stone to rest in?

Luciana does a good job showing the process she uses. However, this is for stones with a flat bottom. If the stone isn't flat, you'll have to adjust. Some people use carbon transfer paper to show where to carve, others use chalk, etc. The tl;dr, it can be really hard.

@Smoke posted a sequence here back in 2011. You may find it a good resource
