Default Re: Hi, Gary from Manchester, tools & tips for slate engraving

Gary,

Not all such stone carving is sandblasted. Much of it is handcarved using manual and pneumatic hammers and chisels.

Suppliers are plentiful in the US. Just Google 'stone carving supplies' and make you choice.

Here are a couple pieces I've handcarved:

Limestone and Marble (slate chips very easily as it is so layered).

Good luck!!
