Despite the snow a stone trip was finally aranged; giving us the chance to see first-hand the processes that lead to the finished stone used in the architectural world. Essentially, we found, this involves the use of a 24m circular saw and a giant mono blade capable of reducing meters of stone to usable sections within the hour. This is then passed on to the stone masons who then re-apply, by hand, the finish that the saws previously removed.

Enormous Saw!
The owner of the company, imparted his knowledge with great enthusiasm and we left feeling confident and brimming with stone info. We even managed to secure a healthy supply, albeit limited by size and shape, of stone!
