The first step of tombstone processing is the selection of stone materials. There are many kinds of stone materials, and there are many kinds of stone materials available. Such as Shanxi Black, Sesame Black, Sesame White, Black Jinsha, Fuding Black, etc. Shanxi black stone is the most popular because of its outstanding performance in all aspects, which can be regarded as a relatively high-grade stone.
Secondly, after the selection of stone materials, it is necessary to go through the production of drawings, design a schematic drawing, and hand over the drawings to the workers in each link. After the completion of the drawing design, rough carving, trial assembly, fine carving, water milling, re assembly, packaging, and transportation are also required. These links are relatively independent and require different professional understanding to complete independently, work together, and finally show a perfect tombstone work.
The processing of tombstones can be divided into the following four aspects:
1、 Use the hand grinder to roughly carve the stone, carve the prototype of the tombstone, and then use small machinery to decorate the curved surface or details, so that the shape of a tombstone is basically made.
2、 Use a large water mill to carry out the water grinding process. Polish the plane of the tombstone, and then use a hand-held water mill to polish the details. For example, the main tablet and cover plate need to be polished.
3、 Carve the surface of the tombstone, and use reliefs and sinks to carve some patterns, such as lotus, longevity characters, animals, etc. Of course, you can also carve dragon pillars, elephants, stone lions, Ruyi, etc.
4、 Assemble and accept the finished products to ensure the quality of the products. As the tombstone is assembled from multiple parts, the installation acceptance is very important. After the processing of each product, the manufacturer shall assemble the tombstone in full and modify the details to avoid problems after installation in the cemetery.
5、 The products shall be packed with wooden frames and foam to ensure the integrity of the products during transportation.
