look in the yellow pages under custom kitchen counters. every place i've

My friend makes picture frames from bluestone scraps t goto
www.pennsylvanibluestone.com and click onthe link for bluestone picture
frames He goes to a shop and hs the guy cut it for him for so many bucks per
foot but they look great . I have another friend that inlays bluestone in
table tops. You could do the same thing with that. I think I have a picture
will post it if you would like . Man more uses for scrap stone also
