PROCESSING
Soapstone can be worked very well with forged steel rasps and files. It can also be carefully worked with forged steel chisels with a mallet head (point chisels, flat chisels and lettering chisels) and wooden 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 soapstone 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 a unique piece and the appearance may differ accordingly from the illustration.
Here you will find interesting information on calculating the weight of a sculptor's stone.
