Now that you have the stone - do you have a slab saw ? A slab saw
is a large wheel running verticle in a water based coolant and a strong
chuck - like a kurt - with big jaws - to hold the stone that is held in
wood that the metal jaws push on.

Slab saws are not cheap - but if you are doing a lot of it - do it.



There used to be a stone cutting saw outside at one of the U of T
campuses in Austin. About thirty feet long, eight feet high, with a
traveling overhead blade.
