electrathon Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 A headstone is about your only chance for a 6" thick stone, unless you have it custom cut. Quote

Contributing Member Bob Blea Posted February 24, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted February 24, 2014 Even for very thick leather, you souldn't need something that thick. If the leather is well cased you don't need to hit it that hard to do carving. 2-3 inches should be enough. Bob Quote There are always possibilities....

Members oltoot Posted February 24, 2014 Members Report Posted February 24, 2014 Yes, a thick stone would be no substitute for proper casing but the thicker and heavier the tooling surface, the more stable and quieter it will be. Quote
