1.   The tools necessary for this carving, are a hacksaw blade with one end wrapped in duct tape to act as a handle. The teeth of the saw blade should always point away from the handle. You will also need a file of some type, or a coarse piece of sandpaper. For the sanding you will require several grades of silicon carbide waterproof paper, 240 and 600 grits will do.

2. The piece of soapstone is 1 ½" x 1 ½" x 2 ½" . With the hacksaw blade, cut the stone to the shape as shown in the side veil above and on the left.
