Some of my work will be auctioned through Lyon and Turnbull Edinburgh on Wednesday 11th August 2021 including the marble sculpture ‘France 1914’ which was exhibited at The Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow.
When choosing a headstone, you will need to think about what type of stone should be used so the following things should be considered:
All the headstones, gravestones, and memorials that I make are unique bespoke and handcarved individual pieces of work. When a client asks me how much it will cost, this will depend on the following factors: On average a small single plaque or headstone will start from about £1250 upwards depending on requirements. Installation and cemetery costs are at an additional cost. Consultations and designs can be done online.
The hammer, chisel, mallet and axe are used for hitting stone, and known as percussion tools. They were the earliest stone carving implements used in many countries around the world and they are still used today.
