INDEX: July 2014
This month the Slippery Rock presents the creative side of stone. We feature three companies that represent three different aspects of specialization within the stone business, but are alike in their dedication to high-quality work and being very creative, each in their own way. The Marine Engineer Monument crafted by William Stone and Tile, the stunning stone mosaics and backsplashes by Emily Tholberg, and the old school masonry products from Stone Creations offer inspiration to all craftsmen in the stone industry. We also present a lot of thoughtful advice this month, from a great explanation of powdered and captured diamond abrasive, to recommendations on how to deal with burnout. I hope you enjoy our collection of wit, wisdom and industry news offered this month, and as always, if your shop is doing something interesting – we would like to hear about it.
