Sandblast Carvings
This type of design can be applied either flat or with shape. Shape carvings is a process of sculpturing with sandblast. To the right are both flat and shaped roses.
Etchings:Etching is a process of using an engraving tool to scratch a permanent image into the surface of black granite. The artwork can be black and white or colored. Etching enables us to achieve finer detail than with traditional sandblast carving.
After the etching is finished it can be colored. Because the color is paint, the coloring can fade over time. We’ve been producing colored etchings for 25 years and many of them still look very nice. They can be recolored right in the cemetery.
