While we wait for our granite on the kitchen island and other parts of the house, we tackle the soapstone that has been waiting in our garage since we picked it up.
The royal "we" of course, as I watched and offered opinions - as well as looked up the instructions for this type of thing.
Using the cutting skills of our carpenter friend Lewis and the tips from the soapstone people there are now two handsome pieces of soapstone fit to the counter on either side of the stove.
It looks harder than in these pictures and took several hours of careful measuring, remeasuring and adjusting before commiting to a cut. However it was well worth the effort. Next on the list is to sand and polish these two hunks of rock.
Not sure when that will get done but it's "on the list". Really it is.
Here is one of the slabs set up for cutting
Lewis and the saw - with a masonary blade.
Dry fit...looks pretty good!
