Why carvers choose the 6-Pack Beginner Kits (1 of each)
- One of each animal. Bird, bear, turtle, cat, dog and elephant in one pack.
- Ready for six people. A complete kit per person - class, party or family night.
- Assembled and boxed. Retail-ready boxes, nothing to pack.
- Wholesale-friendly. Mix-and-match assortment for shops testing the line.
How it works
- Draw the details on the stone in pencil.
- Rasp away the extra stone - the pre-cut shape gives you a head start.
- Sand wet through the grits: 100, 360, 600, then 2000.
- Rinse, dry and oil for a deep polished shine.
Why shops, camps and museums stock it
It demos. A carver working a kit at a booth or a counter draws a crowd in a way a finished carving on a table never does. The boxes are retail-ready, the price point works for impulse buys, and the six animals make a collectable set.
Who buys it
Who buys it: Indigenous carvers and artists (including many from Six Nations of the Grand River), art teachers and school boards, summer camps and rec programs, carving instructors and studios, museums, galleries and gift shops, and hobby carvers across Canada and the USA.
Carving tips
- Carve over a damp towel and wet the stone often - it keeps dust down and shows you the colour.
- Wear a simple dust mask if you sand dry.
- Sand through the grits: 100 to shape, 360 and 600 to smooth, 2000 to polish.
- Finish with mineral oil or paste wax and buff with a soft cloth.
