recarved
Shaped anew, stone
Recarved means carved again or anew.
A sculptor might recarve a damaged statue to restore it, or recarve an inscription that has worn away.
The word implies returning to something previously shaped and working it further: The restoration team recarved the weathered gargoyles on the cathedral facade.
