Carving a Portland Headstone
Here's a detail of a memorial I am currently carving from Portland stone. This is all cut from one piece of stone, the relief being 1" deep (25mm). This photo shows the carving with the inscription pencilled on by hand prior to carving. The roundel bearing the main inscription is slightly convex. The Blackbird and ribbon has been a real joy to carve! When the inscription is finished I may well give the carving a little more attention to detail; a final touch up.
