Rocktober in Canada 2







One of the fine craftsmen I met up with this October was Dean McLellan. He was faced with a daunting task of building a wall with granite rocks and boulders which had been rolled about by the North American ice sheet and advancing and retreating glaciers. Dean had the skill to create a beautiful structure from material that many good wallers would have been struggling with. The photos show the starting pile of stone and the finished result. Well done Dean!

This is an amazing wall. It seems to me that its one thing to build a wall of relatively rectangular stones. But to me this takes wall building to another level and requires a superior level of craftsmanship (and patience). Truly unbeleivable.
