WATSON'S GIFT OF MASONRY DESIGN IS PROVEN YET AGAIN

7/27/2016

Stone Carver and Masonry Designer, Ryan Watson is finishing up this homes hand carved address which will soon fill in the space above this homes doorway.  His gift in the art of Masonry design is proven time and time again.

For the limestone lintels and door surround, Watson incorporated a traditional hand tooled "boasted" finish rarely seen in modern stone construction. This technique has been used for centuries to create depth and texture to the stones appearance, one that man made machinery can not duplicate.

Along with Watson's combination of hand carved and hand tooled details, the 3 foot deep limestone caps under the windows, and the precision of our Masonry crew makes this home one worth seeing in person.

Contact us today and make your commercial or residential project one that everyone is talking about!

With over 16 years of experience in the trade, Watson continues his dedication to the art by providing his commercial and residential clients with inspiration and an end-product unlike any other.

Our site crew may have been rained out today but the carving continues inside our Carving shop. Stone Carver and Masonry Designer, Ryan Watson is seen here carving out the final stages of the capstone for the second column.

Each column is made up of 19 hand carved individual pieces using various chisels driven by either a pneumatic (air driven) hammer as seen above, or hand mallet and chisel. Once complete these two columns will stand proud at the entryway of our latest project on University Drive as seen in the gallery of our previous blog.
