As I have told you that Borglum employed over 400 workers for this job but the Italian immigrant Luigi Del was appointed as Chief Carver for the monument. Borglum cannot do everything and this man Luigi was known for his amazing talent that he possesses of showing the emotions and personality in his carvings. To be able to do that on these rocks is truly a talent that requires a master skill that Luigi was born with. To carve these faces, they were going to use the dynamites and the process which is known as honeycombing.
