@JohnAHi. I found this thread in an internet search for stone cutting. But since backtracking from here through the general website doesn't reveal why there's a question like this on a welders' forum - there are no applicable categories to post a new question - I'll just ask here and maybe someone knows. There's a word for the art of writing with a bottle of ink and a fountain pen: "calligraphy." Is there a word for the art of writing with a hammer and chisel on stone?
