This is Amanda, one of my younger carvers and one of my best. She attended 2 classes and would still be carving if the classes had not ended. She carved for 2 hours straight. She carved 2 turtles and a dolphin that we turned into necklaces. She was a pleasure to work with!!!!!! |

"After carving the 4 slabs with the designs on them I feel you will be ready to try something free form with the bulk piece (or pieces) , if the free form does not work out for you you can cut your bulk piece into slabs with any saw that you may have around and draw your own designs on the slabs. Good luck to the carver." ~ Vince |

It carves like alabaster and is harder than my regular soapstone. Colors will vary. Blocks measure about 5" x 3" X 3" (12.7 cm x 7.62 cm x 7.62 cm) in size and weight about 5 pounds (2.27 kilograms). East Indian soapstone is used alot for the base of fine trophies. |

"The price I pay just went up and I apologize for having to pass it along to my customers but even at $13.00 these are a great deal and I know you'll like them." ~ Mountainpipes "For the price these rifflers/files are the best rough grit carving tools you will find. All carvers of soapstone and wood that I know use them and keep a couple of sets around. I have used and sold these rifflers for more than 25 years and know you will like them. Thanks."
