Subject: Working with pipestone

I have worked with this stone in the past. I have made
among other things, a Lakota style pipe with a buffalo
effigy. I was told to keep the stone wet before working
it. This is said to make it easier to work. I store my
stock in large jars of water. It works very easily with
saws, knives, files, and sandpaper.

Good luck!

Casey
