Round Bluestone Caps with Bullnosed Edges

We recently fabricated some 30″ wide diameter round bluestone caps for a local customer. The rounds were used to cap piers outside of an entryway into a house.

The caps came out great, and we wanted to show some of the techniques that were used to make these.
