In creating a one-of-a-kind edge detail for a kitchen project in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach Granite and Marble dba Grassie Granite and Marble relied on its experience with natural stone as well as automated technology. The resulting project — with a “scalloped” edge treatment — serves as an example of what can be achieved with CNC fabrication.
“The customer actually came to us with the idea, and he kind of knew he wanted a scalloped edge,” explained Joe Blackmon of Myrtle Beach Granite and Marble dba Grassie Granite and Marble. “We worked back and forth on the spacing and the depth of it. We tried a couple of different versions of it, and we did some samples in 1/8-inch Luan plywood. Once the customer picked the shape of it, we cut a full-sized bartop in wood with the waterjet and brought it to his house to see exactly what it looked like before ever cutting anything in stone. Eventually, we used a waterjet to cut it in Blue Pearl granite, and then used a CNC router to do the edgework.”
