beginning to carve....
Working with the dremel...
side view...
making progress....
This is still a work in progress. At this point I've hollowed and carved out about 20lbs of stone and done hours of sanding. Still more to do!
I prefer to use hand tools (rasps, paring knife, carving tools) but once in awhile I get brave and use a dremel (what I'm doing hereabove). My tool of choice (and the first one I ever used) is the small black-handled paring knife I got from Walmart for a buck.
not quite finished but coming along. Still needs lots of sanding and polishing
