Bedface (Natural Bed) is the cut parallel to the stratifications, or layers. 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.
Veine is the cut perpendicular to the stratifications, or layers. 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 spitfaced finish. Other edge finishes available include smooth, honed, polished, beveled, bullnosed, and more.
Natural Bed is a natural, irregular finish that is created by the natural cleft between the layers in the stone (Bedface only).
Stone is smoothed by machine or by hand, leaving a flat, finished surface (Bedface or Veine).
Sand is air-blasted onto the stone's surface, creating a porous finish (Bedface or Veine).
Stone is split with a hydraulic cutter creating a rough perpendicular surface (Veine Only).
Stone is shaped by hand with a chisel creating a natural, slightly-convex surface (Veine Only).
