Been a minute since we worked with natural stone, but just wait until you see it come together!
What happens here
After the rock has been successfully split, use a hammer and a rock chisel to refine the edges of the newly formed pieces. Carefully chip away any jagged or unwanted material to achieve the desired shape and smoothness for your project. This step allows for more precise control over the final appearance of the rock.
Goal: Smooth and shape the newly split rock pieces.
