We have a wood stove with a 5cm thick soapstone slab on top. A child has managed to hack several large gouges in the stone, and I'm considering how to make it look nice again.
Is sanding the way to go? The gouges are maybe 2-5mm at the edges, I'm not really sure how to proceed to avoid it becoming unevenly rounded and ugly. Additionally, it's quite shiny overall, how do you achieve that surface?
Can it be dropped off somewhere, and who does that kind of work? I have searched for new similar stones online but haven't found any.
