@tor_haxson@heads.social I always tell people how stone shaping and dressing is a craft within a craft. It's something I've found a lot of frustration and satisfaction in. Learning what each stone type likes, and doesn't etc.

@kristiedegaris@mastodon.scot You said a lot there. My experience.. I got all excited and bought feathers and wedges and went out to split our local sandstone. Our sandstone is so soft it would rather melt and deform before it splits. So I got a bunch of limestone recently, stuff that naturally splits into horizontal slabs. I tried to do controlled vertical splits, but that stone splits vertically when and where IT wants, not where I want.
