Subject: [stone] Re: Pitching. Cutting with a blade.
Quoted text begins.I was wondering; if you cut the stone with a saw doesn't it look
disgustingly artificial?
Is there a tool or technique to restore the surface, to make it look like
stone again after it's been cut with a saw blade?
End of quote.
Well it certainly doesn't look finished IMO. Some options:
Hone or polish calcium base stones.
Flame granite, bluestone, some limestones.
Saw the stone an inch or two oversize, then pitch.
Saw to within 1/8", then bush hammer.
I've seen a lot of old hand cut stones that have a surface that appears to
be dressed with a toothed chisel or ripper, leaving a bunch of lines all
running in one direction.
