Hello friends.

I’m looking for some advice on how to most cleanly separate one of these pieces from the others. In other words I would like to remove one of the four sides, leaving behind C shape.

It seems to be joined by what appears to me to be some kind of black caulking, except it’s hard as rock. However it does come off easily with a chisel. Yes, I have no idea what I’m talking about with stone.

This was the pedestal from a table. It is granite. Made in Italy.

Is it at all possible to do it by hand? With some masonry chisel’s? I will not be paying to have any outside help, and I do not have a wet saw. Even accepting that it might be a little rough, what would be the best way to proceed?

Thank you!

Found in a naval draftsman’s chest. Would love to know more about the provenance.

My friend is convinced it is whale bone

A scythe? Someone told me it was Vietnamese
