Join me in this fascinating journey as I delve into the art of Pounamu carving with a brand-new block of this precious stone. In this video, I share the initial steps and challenges of slicing through the Pounamu, revealing the intricate patterns and unique characteristics of the stone.
As I cut the first slice, I encounter an unexpected shift in the grain direction, teaching a valuable lesson about the nature of Pounamu. The grain, rather than running vertically as hoped, actually follows a different path, illustrating the unpredictability and beauty of working with natural materials.
The highlight of the video is the discovery of stunning totoweka colours (blood of the weka), orangy-brownish red hues within the stone, showcasing the hidden beauty of Pounamu when held up to light. This particular block has a distinctive light stripe, adding to its unique charm.
Whether you're a seasoned carver, an enthusiast of gemstones, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of natural art, this video offers a close-up look at the process and surprises of Pounamu carving. Stay tuned to see how I adapt my technique to align with the grain and uncover the full potential of this beautiful stone.
