QUARRY

REAL STONE
Stoneworks' Fieldstone and Quarry stone are labeled in the "State" the quarry is located. We diamond wet saw our quarry stone to 1/2" thick, then "cleave" it for modeling 1/16" to 5/8" thick. Then, each "stick"can easily be shaped using ceramic tile nippers. Quarry sticks have two parallel and smooth edges at approx. 1/2" apart. Placed flat to flat, these form even rows or "courses".We offer a very thin fieldstone. You can also usually locate your own fieldstone locally – dried stream bed or bank, landscaping outlet, cut in a hill alongside a road, and maybe in your driveway. This can be a fun field trip . . . and save on shipping costs.

How do you buy stone from us? We sell our quarry stone sticks "by-the-pound". Each order is hand cut to your needs. One pound of thin cut course stone covers approx. 26 to 30 sq. inches. This coverage will vary as some stone is lighter by weight (#58 OH sandstone) so you get more stone "coverage" per pound. The heavier stone lays less of an area (#19NY Bluestone).

Stone modeling? We prefer to use the Quikrete Vinyl Patcher Technique that we developed for outdoor garden railroad structures. You can finish a model in about 2 weeks with pouring in the evenings. Its' fun to do, easy on the wallet and extremely durable for outside "living". The most current info on this is our book #7051 How to model in Stone and Cement. Other modelers, however, like to glue real stone to concrete, wood, or foam substrates.

Ordering?: Select the stone you would like (samples are available, too) and include this number with your order.
