A local legend … and Richie McCaw
Oamaru Stone is a family business, and Judy, who grew up at our Parkside Quarry operating heavy machinery, was recently the hero of a segment on TVNZ’s current events show ‘Seven Sharp.’
If you have a TVNZ On Demand account, you can watch the show here. Judy’s segment starts just after the five-minute mark.
Legends in action
In the show, you’ll get a fascinating insight into how Judy cuts the stone using a three metre diameter tungsten-tipped saw attached to an excavator. You’ll also see how our amazing CNC cutting machine was used to carve out a three-metre-tall statue of the mighty Richie that’s destined for the main street of his hometown, Kurow.
If you have a heroic project in mind, we’d love to hear from you!
Oamaru stone is an ideal medium for carving, shaping and texturing. In fact, literally anything you can imagine, we can probably create for you. Our CNC machine capabilities include everything from the decorative sculpture you’ll see on Oamaru’s famous whitestone buildings to interior features like fireplace surrounds and retail counters.
