Looking for a bit of advice...
I've got a piece of fossilised tree trunk and I want to get it cut in half so I can polish up the surfaces for display.
I've tried builders' merchants, but they're not interested. I think all their circular saws are set up with blades to cut metal.
I've tried a couple of places that sell stone paving blocks and the like, but they won't do it either. I ask if they know anywhere that could do it (because someone must be cutting the paving blocks they sell), but I just get the typical blank 'I don't know' response.
Has anyone any idea where I could get this done? The fossilised trunk is around 12inch (30cm) diameter at its thickest point. What kind of place would have a circular saw with stone cutting blades set up? And this will be very hard stone... I imagine a lot harder than the sandstone that's cut to make the paving blocks.
