Full Size
B U I L D I N G S T O N E
Occasionally people will
want to build with a full eight inch stone. We encourage this practice as
it is a return to the scale of the era we strive to imitate. The mass and
density of a full size stone wall can not be imitated by cultured stone
products or thin veneers. The depth and comfort of an eighteen inch wall
can not be re-created without the use of larger stones.

“When we build let us think that
we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor present use alone.
Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us
think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones
will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will
say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, “See! This
our father did for us.” ~ John Ruskin |
