Subject: Surfacing granite

In making a coffee table out of a rough granite block 8 inches thick, how
would you surface it?

-carbide tipped chisels, and preferred hammer?

-torch, oxypropane or acetylene?

-pneumatic tools?

So far, all I have in my kit are a set, tracer, 3/4 inch chisel, and
point, plus a 2# and a 3# hammer. And for splitting, an electic hammer
drill, 10# bull set, and 8# rifter. I'm thinking about making an
investment for easier and bigger production.
