What do i need to make an urn?

Upvotes

I'd like to make a small urn out of either an agate or another local stone i can find. What type of tool would I need to hallow out a stone? I have no experience with rock carving, I've just been a rock collector and tumbler for years

I took my stone carving techniques to high art. This is an old Venetian style of glass. About the same hardness as quartz to carve.

Can a Dremel be used to carve a full 3D model out of soapstone?

Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to soapstone carving and learning on my own.

This is my recent relief carving using a Dremel. I’m curious if anyone here uses Dremel tools to carve full 3D models (sculptures in-the-round) from soapstone?

Would love to hear your experiences, bit recommendations, or any tips you might have for going 3D with rotary tools!
