• Select a design. Either discover a stone that suggests a design to you by the color or grain or begin with a design idea, model it out of clay to work out the details, and then find a stone that suits your idea.

• Choose a stone. Many different types of stone or rock are available and suitable for carving.

• Granite is the hardest carving stone. Instead of carving with a hammer and chisel, you must use carbide-tipped tools, diamond saws, and grinders. Granite can have a very fine grain or a very coarse one. It comes in several colors, can be highly polished, and lasts outdoors. Many gravestones are carved from granite. You must wear a respirator when working with granite due to the silica content.

• Select your tools. Depending on the type of rock you are carving, you need some or all of the following tools: hammers (3 pounds for removing large chunks, 2 pounds for general carving, 1 pound for finer details); chisels (point for roughing out your carving, tooth for further refinement, flat and rondel for smoothing and to prepare the stone for finishing); pitching tool for removing large chunks of granite, tracing tool for more precision edges, rasps and rifflers smoothing; small grinder and sandpaper for shaping and polishing (coarse, medium and fine grit). For granite, you also need diamond saws, carbide-tipped pneumatic tools, and an air compressor. To drill your stone, you need a pneumatic rock drill and carbide-tipped bits.

• You also need a workbench, also called a banker, that is very sturdy to pound on the heavy rock without collapsing the table.

• Keep appropriate safety gear on hand. Safety glasses, respirators, earplugs, shock-resistant gloves, and a well-equipped first aid kit need to be within arm's reach for maximum safety.

• Decide whether you want to create a relief sculpture where you carve an image that stands out from a flat surface or a three-dimensional sculpture that you view from all sides.

• Determine the direction of the stone's grain. Stone tends to split along the grain, or bed lines, easily. Design your carving so the stone's grain runs along the length of the sculpture. Remember that any small detail you carve may break off if the grain is running crosswise. Sketch out your design on the stone on the flat surface for relief, or on all sides for a three-dimensional sculpture.

• Roughout your carving with the pitching tool by hitting the top of the tool with a sharp blow of the hammer. Angle the tool toward the edge of the stone you want to remove. Use your chisels to cut parallel lines about an inch apart, being careful to avoid going too deeply into the stone. Crosshatch the ridges you made and then chisel along to pop off the cross-hatched ridges. Continue this process, removing the stone you don't want to remain in the final sculpture. Work the entire carving to the same stage all around to keep the sculpture at the same stage; this helps you visualize the finished sculpture. Once you have the rough form, use the tooth chisel to further refine it, the rondel to make concave cuts, and the flat chisel to smooth the texture left behind by the tooth chisel.

• Finish and polish your sculpture. For softer stones, the rasps and rifflers shape and smooth the contours of the final sculpture. Use silicon carbide wet and dry sandpaper for polishing. Start with the courser grits (40-80), work to the medium grit (150-320), and finish with the finest grits (400-1500). This brings out the amazing patterns and colors of the stone.
