More Information
|
- A Stone Forest granite bathtub is carved from a single block of natural
stone.
- Each stone tub will reflect the individual character of the
block from which it was carved as well as the inspiration of the
craftsman.
- Much of the carving is done by hand with calculated blows from a hammer
and chisel. We do use some small diamond saws and hand-held polishing
tools, but because the stone bathtubs are not “machined” each will be a
little different.
- They will not be perfectly symmetrical and there will
be small variations in size.
- Each block of stone also has its own personality; expressed in slight
differences in the make up of its crystalline structure.
- This
personality is further expressed in the stone by anomalies such as
veining, minor pitting, or areas of enhanced coloration.
- For example,
our black granite will occasionally contain traces of silver, gold, or
copper.
- As we extract stone from different areas of a quarry, the color
of each block of granite will vary.
