The Little Feather Center - Quarrying Workshop
Quarrying for the Sacred Red Stone
Tools of the Trade
"The
indigenous people of long ago used stone tools and wooden wedges
and pry bars to access the pipestone. The modern quarrier has replaced
the stone hammers with metal sledge hammers, the wooden wedges are
replaced with steel chisels and wedges. Wooden pry-bars are now
metal crowbars and larger pry-bars." - Chuck Derby

"Then
I would continue on to the Falls and Leaping Rock or Old Stone Face.
It was nice to play in the water and cool off a little in the shade
of the trees." - Chuck Derby
