building with stone building with stone
Charles McRaven

Based on years of experience, this book will educate the novice and inspire the seasoned artisan. A stonebuilder at any level will learn how to evaluate each stone and undertake each step in the procedure with an eye toward aesthetics and useful permanence. In addition to introductory material on acquiring stone and what tools will be necessary, there are chapters with step-by-step instructions on how to build; walls, buttresses, stone fireplaces, a barbecue pit, a stone dam, a stone bridge, a spring house, even a home or barn! The final chapter is on proper restoration techniques for stone structures. Not just a how-to book, but also a good read, 'Building With Stone' is sure to be a reference book and constant companion for all manner of stone journeymen, and will prove to be as enduring a volume as the structures it recommends. 192pp
