Making begins with orientation. The maker studies color, fractures and internal pattern before deciding where a cut should pass. This first choice determines both the final silhouette and how much material can be retained.
Successive abrasives establish the surface. Edges are eased for touch without erasing the geometry; matte and polished planes may be combined to control reflection. Drilled elements are checked at the opening where stress concentrates.
Final inspection compares the object with its listed dimensions, finish and fittings. Natural variation remains visible, while unstable edges or hardware are rejected. The result is documented honestly rather than made to look mechanically identical.
