Map in stone
The Florida map, cut in stone
A state outline cut from the slab by CNC, with the edge finished by hand. The veining is chosen so it supports the shape instead of cutting across it.
Talk about yoursSignature work
Stone cut to your drawing.
Curves, maps, artwork and inlays that most shops will not attempt. We tell you early what the stone, the machine and the structure allow, then we build it.
Projects we have built
Beyond the countertop.
For architects, designers, builders and owners with an idea that is not on a catalogue page.
Artwork in stone
Artwork cut and inlaid in stone
A silhouette or artwork cut from a drawing and set into a surface. We cut protected artwork, such as characters and logos, only with the owner's written permission or licence.

Curved work
A curved countertop and bar top, with a quartzite backsplash that follows the curve
Curved pieces planned together: the countertop, the bar top and a backsplash that follows the same curve, each template cut to the room as it was built.

How we decide it can be built
Possible, and safe.
Stone has limits. We would rather tell you about them in the first conversation than after the slab is cut.
- 01Your drawing or idea
A sketch, a CAD file, a photo or just a description. Architects and designers can send plans.
- 02Feasibility and safety review
We check the smallest inside radius the tool can cut, narrow or unsupported sections that could crack, the weight of the piece, the size of the slab and where the veining will fall.
- 03Honest answer, early
If a detail is not physically possible or not safe, we say so and propose the closest version that is, before any stone is cut.
- 04Template, CNC and hand finishing
Digital templating of the room as built, CNC cutting from the approved drawing, then edges finished and polished by hand.
- 05Dry fit and installation
The pieces are fitted in the shop before they ship and set by our own crew.

Questions
What to ask first.
Can you cut any shape in stone?
Not any shape, and we will tell you why early. Stone is strong in compression and weak in thin, unsupported spans, and the cutting tool sets the smallest inside radius. We review every drawing for these limits and for weight, and propose the closest version that is safe.
Can you make a curved countertop with a curved bar top?
Yes. Curved pieces are templated to the room as built and planned together, so a backsplash can follow the same curve as the countertop and the bar top.
Can you cut a logo or a character?
Yes, when the owner of the artwork gives written permission or a licence. We do not cut trademarked or copyrighted artwork without it.
Do I need CAD drawings?
No. A sketch, a photo or a description is enough to start. If you have CAD or plans, send them: it makes the feasibility review faster.
Which stone should a custom shape be cut from?
It depends on the shape and the use. Fine details and thin points favour denser, more uniform stone, and the veining should support the form. We choose together on the actual slab.
Do you work with architects and designers?
Yes. See the professionals page for the three ways to work with us: fabrication only, engineering support on hard details, or a partnership.
Draw it. We will tell you if the stone can do it.
Send a sketch, a photo or a CAD file. A person from ONC reviews it and confirms what is possible and safe.
