There are a couple of options here if you are looking to seam. If your reason for seaming is to make sure there are no hairline cracks at all, go with 2 seams on either side of the sink. If you use 1 right down the middle, there is still a chance yo…
Great post! I F-in love this guy and can't wait to see part 3. Although once he's sober and realises the final result he might not post it!
Thanks for the heads up Alla. I think I'll order a couple different patterns in and play around with them. I'm thinking that using these tiles for a backsplash and then having the same stones in a cool pattern throughout the top will look great. Mor…

Tile saw, cut in half. Then sand perfetly flat on a sanding table.
Most people just cut a bunch on a tile saw. Maybe 1/4 thick pieces or so I guess. Mark Celebruski has some photos on his page I think.
One thing I should note is that when I say large, I mean roughly 2 - 3" diameter stones.
Hi All,
I've seen a few countertops with large stones inlayed into the surface of tops in certain patterns. I'd like to have larger stones apposed to smaller agregates and it seems like the stones would have to be cut in half to get a larger surf…
