stone chisel
Sculptor's cutting tool
A stone chisel is a hand tool with a hardened steel blade designed for cutting, shaping, or carving stone.
The chisel is struck with a mallet or hammer to chip away material.
Different blade shapes serve different purposes—point chisels for rough removal, flat chisels for smoothing, tooth chisels for texturing.
Stone chisels remain essential in masonry and sculpture: He worked the marble with a stone chisel and wooden mallet.
