Engraving a Reiki Symbol on Marble

ENGRAVING MARBLE BY HAND

Hand engraving a Marble Candle.

I decided to try this method of stone engraving using a small Parkside engraving machine.

The engraved image is a Reiki meditation symbol. I found I was unable to cut a very accurate line using this method but the finished product looked pretty good!

ENGRAVING ON MARBLE.

I found it a bit frustrating not being able to engrave with any accuracy. It might be that I simply need more practice or that a different artistic approach might be better!

I am going to explore different methods of stone slate and marble engraving over the coming months. If you try this please leave a comment below to let me know how you get on. I really don’t mind if your attempt is better than mine!
