Then using a lot of strength, the oil drums are flattened. Using the flattened drum a a canvas, an artist then traces an existing stencilgenerally cut out of a used cardboard boxwith chalk. Using a hammer & two or three sizes of chisels, the design is then cut. After that, the piece is polished with a wire brush & given a coat of clear lacquer & left to dry in the sun.
