Marble Compass rose

We just finished this piece. The customer came to us with a design, selected the materials/colors they wanted at our supplier Crocodile Rocks  and we fabricated it with our water jet machine. They were all 2cm thick material, but we milled the stone down to 1cm thick, so it would fit right up to their floor tile. Then we glued it all together and installed it in Bellingham, Washington. They chose 4 materials. Calacatta Vagli Antique, Verde Antiqua, Calacatta Gold and Black Galaxy granite.  It turned out really beautiful!

Oiling your soapstone

Did you know when you very first apply mineral oil to your soapstone, it will look green? But don’t fret, after a day or two, it will oxidize to the true darkness it was meant for. Here are a few examples on a PA Original slab. The area on the right was oiled 3 days prior to the rest of the slab. The the last photo shows what the whole slab looks after 3 days of mineral oil. 1 DAY COMPARED TO 3 DAYS OF OIL1 DAY COMPARED TO 3 DAYS OF OILPA ORIGINAL OILED
