Got these sweet FSM wall castings from some guy hawking them out of the back of his van in Holden, recently. Cleaned in alcohol...still more nut shells to pick out from between the stones. To cut some to fashion side walls, what toolage/procedure might y'alls revommend? TIA.

Why do you have nut shells between your stones?

They're polished with nut shells. 😁

I cut them with a ban saw - metal cutting blade. A hack saw will work fine, too.
