I just wanted to throw this out there.
I recently went back to my former employer working in his granite shop.
So, I have access to granite pieces. I have several in my yard that can be had for free. If your willing to come get one or two. Most are small sink cutouts or cook top cut outs.
I live in Bossier City. I'm not shipping or selling them. If you want something straightened and polished we can work out a nominal fee. If you want a bigger piece for a table top that can be had but, you will have to purchase it from my employer.
I'm hoping to help out fellow newbies and maybe meet some like minded leather workers.
Anyways, hope this helps someone.
Have fun.
