McRaven
McRaven, a dedicated
stonemason for more than 50 years, brings his practical experience
and deep respect for the material to this essential guide for homeowners
interested in adding stone to any setting, indoors or out. Here
is everything readers will want to consider when beginning a do-it-yourself
project, hiring a professional stonemason to carry out a difficult
design, or simply planning and dreaming in stone. Know the properties
of common types of stone. Choose, collect, and move the right stones
for the project. Place them in perfect layers, make them fit with
the proper tools, and learn the basics of drystacking and mortaring.
Its all covered in detailed how-to chapters, embellished with anecdotes,
historical tidbits, and profiles of noted masons.
