Thanks, for this build I need to start with the dry rock look. I've also found the life rock to be brittle and difficult to drill without breaking. Good stuff if going for that coraline look though. I need very large arches so will probably just end up building them.

The rock that I was selling in the other post all came from Amazon. Links below. I bought the first one. About $1 per pound.
It's the same stuff that all the big names sell for much more. A quick rinse and it's good to go, but a straight vinegar bath for 24 hrs then rinse will really open it up. You will not be disappointed.
Its usually received on the larger side most boxes had a couple of large pieces and a couple of medium/small pieces.
A good strong screwdriver and hammer is all you need to make it to your liking.

Order two boxes. Pretty happy with the rocks. Here’s 3 pieces stacked together.
