David lays in travertine tile pieces on the curved stair case. Travertine is a great material to use on stair cases because it can easily be cut, shaped, and polished to fit odd shapes. It can be laid with tight joints so as to appear to be solid stone.

Granite selections are coordinated with floor tile and cabinet samples. There are a couple of stone distributor yards in our area where you can select your granite and have the slabs shipped to our fabricator for cutting, polishing, and installation.
The first of 3 Magma Circa stone for the kitchen tops is being
transported to the cutting table. You can see the clear plastic
templates outlining the bar top and one section of the counter top. The
templates are positioned to take best advantage of the movement in the
stone to display its natural beauty to its best effect. Particular
attention must be paid to seams where two pieces joint together so that
the stone color and movement blend well between one stone piece and
another. It takes a good eye to pull that off with a stone with this
much color and movement. That Magma Circa is gorgeous! It's going to
take your breath away when you walk into the kitchen, everyday.
Jason marks up the slab with registration lines. The templates are then
removed and the slab is coated with a sealer to prevent staining during
cutting. Next, the templates are laid back down and positioned over
the registration lines for the cut.
Jason makes the cuts with a diamond wet saw along the edges of the
templates. The table rotates to position the slab for each cut. There
aren't many places you can go to work in your bathing suit and flip
flops. This is one of them.
