This 1500 pound carvedĀ  limestone ice cream cone stands proudly outside one of Ohio State University’s oldest buildings, which now houses the Mirror Lake Creamery and Grill on the ground floor. Thousands of students walk by my work every day on the campus. I wonder how many notice the top scoop is cherry? Carving the waffle cone texture was fun. Being a part of a place carved by generations of stone carvers is an honor.
