Carvings
Shaped Carving
- Technique used to create a three-dimensional appearance when carving flowers.
Sandblast or Flat Carving
- Outlines are sandblasted around the carving while the surface images are
left flat. Sandblast designs are the most basic type of carving
available.
Sculpture / Statues
- Sculptures and granite statue carvings consist of an image that is hand
sculpted using many different pneumatic chisels and other granite
carving tools.
Etching
- Etchings are drawings made with a diamond tipped tool that permanently engraves
the image directly into the polished surface of the granite.
Etching is best on darker granites resulting in the high contrast
between the dark granite and the almost white etching.
