Initial pebbles...
#Lettercutting
Beach pebble with " solvitur ambulando" (it is solved by walking) carved in relief.
Big shout out to @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social whose recent post introduced me to this Latin tag "Solvitur Ambulando" (it is solved by walking). Anything that wise has to be worth carving in stone. Chunky letters in a chunky beach pebble. #lettercutting
One of my (many) favourite pieces by @poorfrankraw.co.uk
especially in light of current times. #whatfreshhellisthis #lettercutting #lettercarving
Happy birthday David Kindersley. The skillful lettercutter, typeface designer, and sculptor, known for countless examples of his lettering work, including street signs and the gates at the British Library, was born today in 1915. #typefacedesign #lettercutting

If you really hate someone - teach them to recognise bad #kerning (spacing between letters).
I would have expected the Vatican to have someone good in house for #Lettercutting
So, have managed to get some #lettercutting done today! First day of good work this year.
But got sun burned.
Dukkha's gonna cut you down...

Finished before the rains came; gateway extension with handcut house name. My client is fond of history & bird life. So it had to be Roman lettering & a swift...

Some absolutely gorgeous #lettercutting at Zennor church today - both ancient and modern! I really love the modern example here - amazing range of textures in slate.
Tools on the radiator. A chilly days #lettercutting in prospect...
Watching Monty Don on BBC2. I get all excited because he goes to Little Sparta.
Sian goes "Blimey, it's even worse than all your stuff in our garden".

When dammit is not enough.
A Southern sweary word made beautiful by @poorfrankraw.co.uk ya’ll.
You might say he specialises in them. There may be one for you. Check his profile links. Top man, top letter carving. #cursing #lettercutting #hatdammit
Beach pebble with the words 'carpe diem' carved into it.
A little reminder on a beach pebble. #Lettercutting. Wide brush lettering, then cut with a chisel.
That #lettercutting article is spot on. So much high quality stuff in London. (& A fair amount of crap too, tbh)
Excellent article on #lettercutting on #Londonist

Carved stone in a field.
Pebble with Fraktur initials
Complex sea pattern and name on marble
Managed to get some of the last 18 month's #lettercutting and #carving up on my site at last. Check it out. stonehouseletters.co.uk
Today's piece of marble has taught me why the Welsh carve love spoons out of wood... #Lettercutting
Beautiful 1930s slate memorial
Lovely raised lettering on a big slate ledgerstone
Big slate ledgerstone, last line askew
Gorgeous modern memorial slate (& probably Palladium rather than Silver?)
Not all sure what was going on with the ledger stone for Robert Dymoke - the last line is at a very odd angle indeed! #LetterCutting Lincoln Cathedral.
Joining the "church picture" theme for #TeamRE... Lincoln Cathedral - architecture and my usual #Lettercutting obsession (oh, and #DogFriendly too)
