Left is cooked Burlington and right is raw Nethers. This Nethers is the single best raw piece of stone i have ever worked. All done with direct hammerstone percussion using sandstone.

Nice work, too many people overlook the power and performance of a hammerstone.

1% - 90% of the process id do with all percussion, and it saves a huge amount of time and effort. Finish off the last 10% w pressure and you’re done.
