PROCESSING
Soapstone can be worked very well with forged steel rasps and files. It can also be carefully worked with forged steel chisels with mallethead (point chisels, flat chisels and lettering chisels) and carver's mallet, hornbeam. 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 use.
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.
