Thread: Pike's Lisbon Chocolate Hone

irregular Sizes
After that there were around 25 freshly cutted slabs. They took out the largest sizes. The smaller sizes were brought to the chipping room were smaller and irregular sizes have been cut. The chipping was mainly done by hand.

The operator worked with a chisel and did cut at the ends of the raw cut stone where the wished end was to get the wanted size.

Cutting the Chocolate Stone
The Chocolate hone was cut with a special machine, a type of a mechanic driven anvil. The stone was placed under the anvil. At the end there was a type of a bigger chisel which was moved down with pressure to cut/chip the Chocolate Hone at the preferred area.
