Unless he wants it completley clear, they agitate it while freezing it. Call happyice. Or yellow pages for ice. Call some ice sculpture places lol. ---

What do you need it for? Years ago an acquaintance (ice sculptor) told me how they take special care to freeze the water so that it is more clear, etc etc… So if you wanna try your hand at an ice sculpture of a midget fucking a donkey, then it’ll prolly be a little harder / pricier then if you just want to supercool someones pool with a huge ice cube. $0.02 ---

Ok I will be calling my buddy shortly to get a price. If you want it carved, he can do it as well…but more $$ lol. If it is just for a luge, you can probably get away and do it yourself. ---

They sell rubber molds that you use to make your own. Just put water in it, freeze then peel the mold away. ---

If you get one tonight and put it in the freezer it will be frozen by morning. These molds arent huge so you may want to get two for when the first one melts. ---

Jamestown Ice sells 22lb blocks for like $4 each. Might be a bit of a drive for you though. If you want, I can put you in touch with someone who might be able to get you some leftovers or broken blocks for super cheap or free.
