How to Take a Rubbing
Taking A Rubbing
• White paper with black wax block (or large crayon) best choice
• Thick paper like grocery sacks are too thick to get a proper rub
• Butcher paper with wax side works well with moist stones
• Please avoid using pencil, chalk or anything that could rub off
Lay your paper over the entire memorial.
Begin by marking all four edges.
Rub every area where a design or text appears.
Indicate on the rubbing which areas are polished (P) and which areas are sanded (S).
For shape-carved designs, we need a rubbing and a good
close-up photograph of design to be shaped.
Shape-carved example
Flat-carved example
If you can imagine it, we can create it in stone.
