INDEX: March 2012
MARCH and the turning of the seasons has a profound influence on our daily lives–at work, and at play. This issue, with our spotlight on Curling Stone manufacturer Canada Curling Stone Co. touches on both aspects of the role stone plays in our daily lives. Our use and dependence on stone products surrounds us daily, whether we recognize it or not. From granite curbing to curling stones, building cladding and sculpture, we salute those who take raw stone and shape it for our use, appreciation– and fun. Enjoy our industry news, good advice and our usual healthy measure of opinion within these pages of our online edition. As always we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
