How to make Stone Tortoise (little turtle from Stone)


Here I’ll show you how to carve and make a statue using Balinese Carving Chisel. When I was a kid my family taught me the basic knowledge start from introduction to the work tools, sharpening the chisels head, help them to make the bottom statue
until the sanding process of finish sculpture .the basic level start from learning to make turtles, ducks, cats until the next stage of making a half-human body statue.
1.the necessary tools ;(see Photo)
  

a set of carving chisels include of wooden hammer [mallet]

2 auxiliary tools ;
   jigsaw or handsaw, measurement, handdrill, sanding paper, miserly iron or grinding

Material Selection;
in this case are optional, it's up to you to choose, can use wood, stone or mixed plaster for this learning, I use lime stone from Yogyakarta. and I make a square size of  8cm x 8cm length 13cm

we begin the step by  step making of a little turtle from soft stone material
Step.1:      
         make a simple sketching on the materials surfaces.
           triangle line sketch for head shape and shell, legs and tail position
           no need the real and clear sketch , because we will make a sketch repeatedly
           during the manufacturing process
Step.2: 
         cut with a chisel or a handsaw the square part of the stone to get a triangular
           shape like the picture below.
Step.3:
          Repeat the sketch, this time deepened with the use of a small handsaw or
            chisel marker
Step.4:
            make a sketch at the bottom of stone to show the position of the head, legs and
            tail. note and be careful for the line and central meeting point that being a part
            of a shared balanced. use a chisel to deepen the line marker
Step.5:
             beginning to carve and separates the head shape and the shell
             saw the shape from the top and sides so that the shells and heads will be well
             formed. I suggest you to buy a tortoise (turtle) to learn the anatomy
Step.6:
            clarify parts of the legs, round it off and adjust the size of the head with the
            shell shape. use the curve or straight chisel with the right size, so it will not
            leave a scar or scratch on the surface which has a certain size
Step.7:
          This is the most important stage in the process, here we required an exercises,
            regularly and repeatedly for the anatomy appreciation . because you work in
            detail to explore the overall shape of turtles. you should be guided by coaches
            in order not to make mistakes.

some tips
1. always keep sharping your chisel to avoid damaging the material and object
2. confirm the composition of  the divided sketch approach a symmetrical so that the
    object is not physically handicapped.
3. use the chisel with the right size to avoid damaged the surface
