CARVING WITH OAMARU STONE
CARVING WITH OAMARU STONE
The stone we use is Oamaru stone — also commonly known as Limestone. We use this particular stone because it can be readily shaped, Oamaru stone is a favourite material for stone carvers and sculptors in New Zealand.

I love the edges that catch the sun and create shadows that dance across the surface of the stone.
