Through years of trial and error I have found a few things that work best for me when working with my chosen medium of sandstone and some things to steer clear of. I have learned that it is necessary to use a variety of tools not limited to but including putty knives, chisels, diamond bits and burrs, and even hammer drills to get my desired result. In this article I will cover only the technical issues of carving on the stone and will discuss getting a feeling for each stone and tips for bringing out its true beauty in latter articles.
First let us talk a bit about some misconceptions regarding stone carving and sandstone wall art that I have run across. One of the biggest misconceptions about sandstone is that it is a soft stone. On the contrary it is very abrasive and if the wrong tools are used it will eat up your equipment very quickly including tools coated in tungsten carbide and even titanium carbide. Another misconception is that soaking a piece of sandstone in water will make it softer and more easily carved. Not true, what water will help with is the life of your bits and chisels and keeping the dust down.

Now here are a few things that I have found work. One of the best tools for the initial stabilization of each stone is a hammer drill. All though it is truly amazing to watch the stone wear down the steel chisels of the hammer drill to a mere nub. The stabilization process is completed with a plain, old fashioned, putty knife and yes they get worn down, too.
