We're thoroughly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Masonry Design for this residence on University Drive in Saskatoon. After all, Masonry Design is our specialty! The custom masonry work is complete on the homes interior and preparation for the exterior is in full force.
While our crew is hard at work dressing stone by hand for the exterior (as explained in our previous blog), our Stone Carver & Masonry Designer, Ryan Watson has been chipping away limestone for the two columns he designed. Once complete, these hand carved columns will be installed piece by piece standing over five feet tall at either side of the homes entrance. Installation will begin on the exterior over the next few weeks so bookmark this page and stay tuned. Don't forget to find us on all your social media locations including twitter, instagram, facebook, google+ and linkedin. #dowhatyoulove #masonrydesign #customdesign

As promised, here is the progression of our latest hand carved limestone memorial base to include our clients family name. We're always honored to carve memorials, this one being for true salt of the earth wheat farmers out of Dinsmore Saskatchewan.
Stone Carver, Ryan Watson did a punched finish with tooled margins and raised lettering. "Over fifty pounds of limestone was carved out by hand, with around sixty hours of carving from beginning to end", Watson says. Next up, the books lettering until it reaches its final destination on the prairies in Dinsmore. The images above can be enlarged by clicking on them, then follow the arrows through to the end. Whether it's masonry for your home or commercial property, our master of all things stone, Ryan Watson will work with you to create a stunning and one of a kind design. Here you see pallet after pallet of limestone which arrived just in time for our crew to begin shaping it. Each and every individual piece is handcrafted using traditional methods and tools of an age old trade.
There is simply no comparison to hand crafted natural stone work. Although man-made manufactured products have come a long way, natural stone's lifespan is a hundred times greater, is virtually maintenance free, and is sure to become more and more magnificent with age. When you decide to invest in building a home or your commercial property, consider a consultation with our Masonry Designer first. We specialize in customizing your project to stand out from the rest where quality comes first. It is our mandate to provide you with professionalism from the start of your project right through to the end. Next up, Watson will hand carve two 6 foot limestone columns which were custom designed as the focal point to this homes entryway. We can not wait to present the exterior in its completion. Stay tuned! |
