Drilling alabaster
Dear Hap, I'm no expert on alabaster, I've carved maybe 20 pieces of 3-4
different types, but I will echo Don Dougan's advice to be very careful
(i.e. slow & easy). Depending on the level of "veining" or amount of
inclusions, alabaster can be very brittle and easy to crack/split. Just
my 2 cents. good carving, g
