    Carving an Inukshuk:

       Materials Included in Kit:

  • Pre-cut soapstone or carving stone

  • Sandpaper (60, 150, 400 grits)

  • Bowl of water

  • Mixture of mineral oil and beeswax

        Instructions:

  1. Begin Carving:

    • Start with the 60 grit sandpaper to shape your inukshuk. Shape the lines by folding the sand paper in half and remove excess material

  2. Refine Details:

    • Progress to the 150 grit sandpaper for a smoother finish.

  3. Polish the Finish:

    • Finish with the 400 grit sandpaper for a polished look.

  4. Keep it Wet:

    • Throughout the entire carving process, keep the stone wet by dipping it in the water bowl. This controls dust and ensures a smooth finish.

  5. Apply Mineral Oil and Beeswax:

    • After completing the carving, apply the provided mixture of mineral oil and beeswax. Ensure even coverage.

  6. Enjoy Your Creation:

    • Admire your finished inukshuk! Display proudly or share as a thoughtful gift.

Feel free to express your creativity throughout the process. Happy carving! 🪵✨ Tag #InuvialuitCarvers #CarvingInstructions #InukshukCarvingKit
