Built another base for one of my stones, this time it’s a smallish red Aoto (Atagoyama) stone. The Dai is basically finished except for the oiling part. I will post some more pictures after that.
For fine tuning of the fit I used a trick that I once stumbled across. To identify contact points I put a sheet of paper with chalk on one side between the stone and the base. This is a nice and well working way to determine where material has to be removed.
initial fit:
better fit after removing the surplus material:
