Arrangements are taught for decoratively engraving a surface, such as hardened concrete or stone, particularly by engraving stencil-defined swaths into the surface with a tool of the type commonly called a needle scaler. The arrangements include methods of covering portions of the surface with a stencil made of material capable of withstanding a chisel blow, and then engraving exposed swaths by repeated chisel blows from one or more chisels having a restricted stroke. In some cases non-contiguous portions of a stencil are interconnected by bridge-line connectors selected to allow free access to the entire swath by a needle scaler or other chisel driving apparatus. In other cases a space-frame is placed atop a stencil and used to support discrete non-contiguous island portions of the stencil.
