Add Your Own Stone Sculptures
The second feature to this page is the ability for you to add your own stone sculptures. Many people from all around the world have already shared their works and stories in the gallery. It has been very interesting to see where they are from and what type of stone they are working with as well as the stories behind their works. Check out stories like Sharon's sculpture of a double Koru with Paua Shell. If you sculpt in stone you can now add your carvings to this gallery. Tell us about yourself, plus the story about your works of art.
It will be interesting to see carvings from people from all over the world that have a passion for stone sculpture.

Shaugns Recommended Stone Carving Tools
Although the tools below are sold through Amazon. They are the same as the stone carving tools that I personally recommend to my students for carving with Oamaru stone.
Poratable Workbench
These benches are height adjustable which makes them perfect for stone carving. I own the Ryobi workbench and love it, but unfortunatlly it is only sold through Amazon's UK store for people that are wanting to buy it online.
Stanley: Surform Shaver
This is a must-have tool for shaping large areas of Oamaru stone
Riffler Files
These are smaller files that are designed for the parts of your sculpture that are difficult to get at. They are also an essential set of tools
Builders Pencils
Crosscut Hand Saw
This type of crosscut hand saw is my recommendation for cutting Oamaru stone
Keyhole Handsaw
A very handy saw. Mosty used for sawing after a hole after it has been drilled into the stone.
