Why carvers choose the Kits by the Case (48 / 480)
- Case of 48. Enough for a full retail display or a camp session.
- Unassembled = flexible. Pack them your way, or assemble in about a minute each.
- 10-case pallets. 480 kits for school boards, camp networks and distributors.
- Proven bestseller. Our best-selling soapstone product for shops and camps.
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.
Questions
What does unassembled mean?
The cartons arrive flat with the blanks, rasps and sandpaper packed alongside. Assembly takes about a minute per kit - or skip it if you're handing them straight to carvers.
Can I choose animals by the case?
Yes - cases are sold by animal: bird, bear, turtle, cat, dog or elephant.
Do you do private label?
Unassembled cases suit resellers who want to package their own way. Message us about custom packaging.
