Not sure if this one goes here. Had a pc of soapstone that I used for bearing block on bowdrill that drilled thru fairly quick, today decided to do something with stone with a hole in it. I saw a bird trapped in there so I freed him, Way easier than flintknapping, roughed it out then sanded a gave a coat or two of boiled linseed oil and a little hand rub. this is my first attempt at using soapstone , I need to get some more.
