Maybe.  I don't currently have any bird projects, but I might have a use for
it.  I'll let you know.

Hmm, when I was in Europe, I saw a lot of walls like that.  There isn't much
choice when all you have is irregular stones.

 They take rawly rectancular

Consider the following:

and

http://darwin.cwru.edu/~wedig/summer/summer.png

Both sets of walls were made with my isw code (isosurface stone walls)  It
allows for placement of roughly rectangular blocks, but also will morph them
into cones and tubelike structures.  Any modification surface can be used
upon the blocks, and they're all independently textured.

So regular stones aren't a big deal to me. ;)
