Bedface is the cut parallel to the stratifications, or veins.  Specialized interior stones are cut from the Fleuri bedface layer, which is the ‘premium’ layer of the Bedface cut.  The finishes available for the Bedface cut are sawed, sandblasted, smooth, honed, polished, and polished/filled.  Also, for a more natural look, Natural Bed or our standard flagstone is often used.  Edge finishes are available including smooth, honed, polished, beveled, bullnosed, handfaced, splitfaced and more.

An extensive variety of sizes are available with the Bedface cut.

Veine is the cut perpendicular to the stratifications, or veins.  This creates a wonderful visual effect of the various tones of the stone’s veins.  The finishes available for the Veine cut are sawed, sandblasted, smooth, honed, polished, and polished/filled.  Our standard veneers are created from this cut with a splitfaced finish.  Other edge finishes available include; smooth, honed, polished, beveled, bullnosed and more.

Veine cut can be up to 18” thick and are typically up to 7 feet long.  The thickness can be increased by bonding two or more pieces of stone together with an epoxy joint that is invisible due to the evenness of the Natural Bed.  We also produce lengths up to 10 feet long on a regular basis.
