Subject: Text / numbers on granite


From: VisualThinker7@-------

Quoted text begins.The PBS program This Old House just showed a guy using a thick rubber
stencil to protect a granite surface, then sandblasting numbers into the
granite.
The result looked hand cut, or chiseled.
Afterwards he colored the figures by spraying on an enamel especially
designed for granite.
End of quote.


That's how granite headstones are done....the same can be done with wood if
the one doing the sandblasting has a sensitive touch....
