In an outstanding example of U.S. stone-carving abilities, a solid stone tub for a private residence was crafted from a single block of stone
Recently, a one-of-a-kind carving project was completed for a Manhattan penthouse, and it provides an example that the art of stone-carving is still alive in America. Dimensional Stone and Tile Designs, Inc., a major stone fabrication company located in Mount Vernon, NY, was responsible for the project, custom designing and carving a bathtub from a solid block of Minnesota Northern Buff Limestone that was quarried by Vetter Stone, in Mankato, MN.
On behalf of the client, the block of limestone was personally selected at the quarry by Brian Cardone, Sr., President of Dimensional Stone and Tile Designs, Inc., and it was then trucked to the fabrication shop in Mount Vernon for carving.
