Soapstone was used for making bowls while the harder rocks were used for making knives, points and axes. Parents would encourage their children from an early age to carve stone so that they would get used to making tools and utensils from stone. The children would start be polishing carvings carved by their parents. My friend Pavinak Petaulassie started polishing his mom and dad’s carvings when he was 5 and he carves for 32 years now. The Process A soapstone piece of the right size is selected (fig.1). Then it’s carved to the right shape using tools such as a knife, a file and a chisel (fig.2). When the shape is done fine details can be done with finer knives or with special drills for that purpose (fig. 3). After shaping is completed (fig. 4), polishing is done. Polishing is done with sandpaper going from lower grid sandpaper to higher grid s Price for 1 piece 333,33 EUR (eks. moms) Amount    Buy   «-Back  DKKEURUSD     Show with VAT   Tip   Print If you have any questions feel free to call phone: 004546406979 The ArtDanish founder / Fondateur ArtDanish.dk, Artist Inge Marie Jensen, Vadsbyvej 16, 2640 Hedehusene, København, Denmark, mail.: sales@artdanish.dk
