Inuit carvers produce sculptures using local found natural materials . Stone (soapstone)is found in different colours from soft medium grey to black to various shades of green. Weathered and fossilized whalebone found on the beaches. Ivory from the walrus tusk, and cariboe antler. Carvers use axes, hammers and chisels to rough out the block of carving stone, finishing their sculpture with rasps, files and sandpaper.
