Floral
carvings, also known as corner
carvings, are often used as
the main
design element on a head
stone. Whether you are
designing a flush grave marker
or a horizontal tablet style
gravestone you can use most of
these carvings in
the upper left and right hand
corners. You may also add or
substitute
these carvings to a
design selected from our
Tablets and Markers. There may
be an extra charge for
complicated substitutions to
designs.
-- Carving styles --
Shaped
A shaped floral carving has
a natural appearance. It is
carved in a way that
gives the flower depth and
varying shadows. Shaping
requires extra time and
a craftsmen's skills since the
work is done by hand. You can
also have a
flower deep shaped.
It's much deeper and more
realistic. But deep carved
flowers are much more
expensive and are mostly used
for roses and lilies.
Flat
A flat floral carving consists
of two fairly simple
processes. First the carvings
shape is frosted into the
polish. Then the lines that
make up the floral design
are recessed approx.
3/16" to 1/4".
Skin Frosted
Skin frosted carvings are
sometimes used on dark
polished granites such as
jet black, impala and
mahogany. The lines of the
drawing get sandblasted
enough to remove the polish
and produces an etched
appearance.
