The Preyda Arkansas stones are quarried in the mountains of Arkansas, made from
novaculite. This material is not found anywhere else in the world. Their ability to remove less material
than other abrasive products is what truly makes them unique. The stone is naturally durable. As a result they will perform for extended periods of time without lapping or flattening. Sharpening surface of each stone measures 5″ x 1-5/8″.

The leather strop is made right in our Chipping Away shop.  We mount Heavy Duty premium
leather on both sides of a hard-board paddle. Measures 7″ x 2″ x 12″ with a stropping surface of 2” x 7”.

The brass head mallet; this 12oz mallet provides unequalled control and balance in a compact
design. A real extension of the craftsman’s hand. Improving control in delicate areas and heavier removal when needed.

The green compound is a blend of both chromium and aluminum oxide to give the best combination of cutting speed and fine finish, Perfect for stropping your carving tools with.

The basswood is first quality and kiln dried to 10% moisture, so it is perfect for woodcarving projects. Use these plaques to practice your carving skills or use them to get right to it and start a project with one of Mary May’s many available Virtual classes.
