Stone cutter

I found this stone cutter chiseling AIA's latest gold medal winners name on the lobby wall. Edward Larrabee Barnes will be awarded the gold medal at a black tie event at the Building Museum in a couple weeks. This is why I bought a tux last week. Mr. Barnes is actually dead so he won't be collecting his award but I'm sure his family will be there to pick it up. It's the BIG award in architecture land. Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehrey and Louis Kahn all got one of these.



I wonder where you find stone cutters these days?

I have tons of friends who do stone work. I'm sure they can help you out with your stone cutting needs.
