The process of selecting and fabricating natural stone for restoration is complex. The speaker will first discuss the selection and matching process for limestone and sandstone supply, followed by site measuring techniques, templating and drawing requirements. We will take a virtual tour of a fabrication plant to see the high-tech machinery used to cut, turn and profile stone. We will also see the traditional hand-cut methods used by skilled cutters, carvers and sculptors to create one-of-a kind pieces.
