In this video, I carve an owl from a block of Cadeby limestone over the course of two days for a private memorial. For more videos like this one please subscribe!
Wonderful to watch the barn owl being freehand carved. The variety of chisels and tools used both to remove waste and then subsequently carve intricate details was great to watch. The way you tackled the lettering was insightful too (various potential options for transferring the letters onto stone). The completed memorial is fantastic!! The video highlights the different skills and projects one can encounter as a banker mason. Inspirational content as per usual!!!
Thats wicked man! An other way of transferring the letters on to the stone is to rub charcoal on to the back of the paper, stick it to your stone with tape/blue tac then with a blunt-ish 10-H draw around the printed side of your letters then you should have a nice out line :)
Great vid.. I have just started out with a small workshop after many years fixing. Just hammer and chisels for me with a few power tools. Thanks for sharing your skills. Gives an old man hope..👍👍👍
