It would be nice to see photos of stones Iain carved for people since he started so if you have a stone and would be happy to share, we’d love to see them.

It’s taken me some time to write this post because it’s so hard but I can’t put it off any longer. It’s with a heavy heart that I have to announce that my husband, Iain, the very talented owner of Carved on Stone passed away suddenly at the end of January this year. It was completely unexpected and has left us with a huge void in our lives. Iain had to give up work a few years ago due to a severe knee injury and found himself with a lot of time on his hands. He always had an interest in carving wood and did so as a hobby over the years but a couple of years ago he discovered he had a gift for carving stone too and started to develop that talent. Last year he managed to turn his hobby into a business. It gave him a new lease of life and carving stone became his passion. As a result, many people enjoy the fruits of his labour. There are still several stones in his workshop but we have yet to make a decision on what to do with them. At some point we may try to sell or auction them to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation in Iain’s memory. Because of this, I’m going to keep the page open for a while longer. RIP Iain Bonner, Carved on Stone

Ladies and gents, It is unfortunate that I have to stop carving just now for a while due to an injury on my arm. It looks like it will be the start of the year at least before I can get back to normal. Thank you for your support
