The Art of Chinese Chop or Seal Carving(2)

[Geostars]

Can you use an Xacto knife or is the stone too hard?

[blueheronarts]

@Geostars You have to use the special hard alloy seal engraving tool, which is available at our BHA store.

Do you sell that paper notebook you are holding at the end of the video on your website?

[blueheronarts]

@aestheticnine Yes, I do have them available now at our website BlueHeronArts. It's under the paper or the seal section. Thank you for asking.

[blueheronarts]

@aestheticnine Yes, I do carry that "nd Chinese Stab Binding Books" on my website BlueHeronArts.

May I ask where you can purchase that simple and practical paper booklet you are holding in the last part of this video? Great videos by the way!

[blueheronarts]

@RizzoLove The booklet is now available at our website BlueHeronArts. Thank you for your request.

[blueheronarts]

@RizzoLove Thanks for asking. The "Handbound Chinese Stab Binding Books" is available at our website BlueHeronArts.

what kind of stone do you use? it seems pretty hard, but you can still carve it without braking or chipping your knife. i envy your steady hands

[blueheronarts]

@fireclan The stone is knwon as soapstone, it is much harder than a soap but softer than most stones to carve. Thank you for your comments!

[sotto2]

Why don't you brace that stone against something wooden and solid like a jeweler's bench pin. I've seen some netsuke carvers do that. It would be more stable, and if that sharp carving tool slips it's not gonna jab you in the hand.

[Generalvaldez]

Hey Henri would it be wrong to carve half the stone positive and half the stone negative to make even more unique?

[blueheronarts]

Yes, that is an option.
