The title.
Feel free to ask me stuff. I’m in Scotland, born in Canada. I’ve been a mason for coming on 15 years. And my favourite dinosaur is…not really a dinosaur…the Stenopterygius species. because they’re tubby not quite dolphin looking (apparently) reptiles.
Both, but it also depends on what style of stone is being laid. The examples I’ve put up are all random. For ashlar you’ll have either a set pattern of sizes, or a small selection of sizes. You’ll still end up cutting pieces smaller due to needing a proper bond and keeping the pattern.
