Despite an excellent demonstration by Yann Marot at the Rocky Mountain Woodturning Symposium, I had to turn my stacking rocks my way. To me they resemble a mountain trail marker that I saw frequently in Boy Scout adventures. The main difference is that I used bayonet style bushings between the rocks instead of tenons.

The bottom two rocks are hollowed to lighten the stack and to enable hiding something special inside. The top rock is drilled to lighten it and to accept the bushing. They are finished rough and with walnut oil. The stack is about 7 inches tall and 5 inches diameter at the base. It stands securely on three rocky protrusions on the bottom side.

The upgraded bayonet style bushings will be available soon in my Etsy site.https://www.etsy.com/shop/AsWoodTurnsTools

Some newer viewers may wonder why I insist on wearing a face shield for safety. Please check out this video:

Enjoy.
