Nice and tight lap joint, but I think I have to loosen it up as wood moves a lot more than stone... This is not something I want to do. Maybe I'll just see what happens. Next I gotta work out the ring. I did not not account for the fact that the 23 3/4" lengths are separated by 6 1/8" making the circle 25" in diameter rather than the 24" I expected. Still not sure if I want to attempt a full ring or just do four quarters, stopping at the stone. Once I decide/find the material I can sand and finish the wood, then settle on whether or not I'm carving any designs into the stone.

Perhaps. Both stones are 3.5" thick, so there's still a solid 1 3/4" on each side of the half lap. I'm leaning towards leaving it and rolling the dice. For that one I used a circular saw with a diamond blade. Made it real easy to stay square and keep the proper depth. Maybe spent half an hour on that. Took 1.5 hours to freehand with the grinder for the 3/4" deep wood laps.
