A person who chisels or carves hard materials like stone; a stonemason or sculptor.
Compound of 'hard' and 'hewer' (one who cuts or chops), literally describing someone who hews or cuts hard materials. The term was common for skilled tradespeople working with stone.
Medieval hardhewers were incredibly skilled artists—some of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe were built by anonymous hardhewers whose names were never recorded but whose work survived centuries.
