Process: Squaring

Squaring

The shaping of a rough, usually newly quarried block so that it is flat on all sides and approximately square or rectangular. Ashlar blocks for rough walls were often never carved beyond this stage and sometimes the rear sides of relief panels are left simply squared. This work would usually have been carried out with the point chisel, sometimes the quarry pick.
