Hand Crafting Tools

These magnificent sculptures are masterpieces as the artists carve them with great passion, using only the most basic hand tools, hammer, chisel, files and wet/dry water paper.

No electrical or pneumatic machinery are used during the carving process it is all done by using hand held tools. It is amazing to see how in life you can do anything you set your mind to, as these sculpture artists have shown us.

Hammer Head tools are used on harder stones and should be used with a dummy mallet or lump hammer.

Claw Bit Holders - A claw tool with changeable claw bits. Ideal for general roughing out work.

´X´ Grade Tipped Tools - ´X´ Grade Steel Is very much more durable than carbon steel, and the tools are of heavier design; quite good on granite.

Sharpening Stone Carving Tools - Tools are supplied Fire Sharpened only, and so therefore need to be sharpened before use.

These are some of the Sculpture Tools the Artists use when sculpting.
