Stone sculpture tutorial: limestone carving by french artist Frederic Chevarin

See http://www.frederic-chevarin.com for more stone sculptures
How a block of Caen limestone becomes a stone sculpture called "A sail for Nigel".
I hope you'll enjoy this video which is about 18 hours of carving reduced to about 3min.

It is shown how to start by using a clay model, and then how to use an angle grinder, hand chisels, sand paper and Cuturi hammers and chisels to create this sail.

wow you really make it look so easy i just finish my wood sculpture and now i have to do one in stone i hope doing well , amazing work

@AerdnaZaze Thanks for the comment. Working in stone is quite different from wood. No grain to follow, no flexibility of the material, it is cold also but once you get the hang of it you'll love it. Good luck for your new experience.
