Granite top project
My local restore (Habitat for Humanity) had a lot of scrap granite, many
2' x 2' and a 1.5" thick or so, $5. Seems like there should be a small profit project in there somewhere. I have no shortage of ideas for that, but am clueless about what might sell for a small profit. I have a marble end table I've made and there is granite tile in the kitchen, so I know it makes an indestructible top and have a clue in how to work with it. I tend to make one offs that I find interesting but wouldn't have commercial appeal. What might be a nice project for this and the stack of cypress I have? Seems like Target and IKEA have relatively cheap kitchen carts covered: http://www.target.com/p/granite-top-...t/-/A-11117074 And lots of stone end tables in the discount furniture stores. Maybe something outdoors? -- pentapus |
