Granite technique
Hey everyone,
One more question....tonight anyway. I look at older granite headstones and
they seem to have a pattern that we now replicate with a sandblaster (I
think they call it "flashed" when it's blasted) that looks like lots and
lots of little scratches, roughly parallel, not cross-hatched, that go
around a raised letter. Do you know if there is a chisel with several
little teeth that might do this? I've seen big chisels like this, but I
think they're for removing material, but I'm not sure. I hesitate,
..............a long, LONG time.......to mention this, but I think I could
do it with a Dremel-tool. :) One doubts, however, that they used them in
the 1800's.
Dremel , Dremel, Dremel-tool !!!
:-p
:)
