Abstract
A method of fashioning a heater from a rock. A first step involves providing a rock having an exterior surface. A second step involves cutting the rock into at least two segments that are capable of being reassembled to reform the rock and maintained in the reassembled condition by force of gravity. A third step involves forming a interior cavity in at least one of the segments. The cavity is spaced inwardly from the exterior surface of the rock and is adapted to conceal a heat source, such as a candle, when the segments are reassembled. A fourth step involves reassembling the segments to reform the rock.
Claims4
A method of fashioning a heater from a rock, comprising the steps of:
- providing a rock having an exterior surface;
- cutting the rock into at least two segments that are capable of being reassembled to reform the rock and maintained in the reassembled condition by force of gravity;
- forming a interior cavity in at least one of the segments, the cavity being spaced inwardly from the exterior surface of the rock and being adapted to conceal a candle when the segments are reassembled;
- cutting flow passages in the rock for supplying combustion air to the cavity when the segments are reassembled;
- and
- reassembling the segments to reform the rock.
A heater fashioned from a rock, comprising:
- a body formed of a rock, which has been cut into segments and reassembled to reform the rock, the segments being maintained in the reassembled condition by force of gravity;
- at least one of the segments having an interior cavity spaced inwardly from an exterior surface of the rock and adapted to conceal a candle when the segments are reassembled;
- and
- flow passages in the body for supplying combustion air to the cavity when the segments are reassembled.
