PROCESSING
Kisii Stone can be worked very well with forged steel rasps and files. Due to its firm structure, it is also excellent for working with forged steel chisels with mallet head (point chisels, flat chisels and lettering chisels) and carver's mallets. Soapstone can also be shaped with (wooden) carving irons. Please note that you will not be able to use soapstone carving tools for woodworking afterwards.
Sculptures made of Kisii are suitable for indoor installation.
Stone is a natural product. We endeavour to reproduce the appearance of our sculpture stones as accurately as possible in the illustrations so that the character of the stone can be recognised. Ultimately, each stone is unique and the appearance may differ from the illustration.
