Cattle Hide Report post Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Reviewed the internet listings for Granite Supply in my area and found about 8-10 names that sounded likely. Went to the first name. It was a slab distributor so they had no scrap, but the nice staff printed out a list of all of the fabricators within 50 miles of my house! My second visit to a counter top fabricator netted a trip to the dumpster and two nice slabs of granite went home in the trunk for free. Each has one straight edge. One is somewhat irregular, but has at least a 15" x 15" area for stamping. The other is a magnificent looking sample that is about 22" x 30" in size. Very nice. Note: Most counter top material is 3 cm thick. This is about 1.2 inches. There are a couple of very minor scratches on the face of the smaller piece and one 1/8" or so nick on the bigger piece. Ask nice, find the right location and ask for scrap pieces. By the way the other guy wanted to sell me a finished remnant with polished edges about 15" x 20" for $100. I like the second guy's deal much better. Thanks to all who recommended this method it worked! Edited June 4, 2011 by Cattle Hide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
