Don't let my wife see that. Just today she was talking about the veneer being some sort of stone. Arrghh...!!! Here in middle Tennessee collecting limestone from the fields is no problem (ouch, my back), but it might look nice

Great pics, and nice work!

From the excellent shorpy.com site:



Note the clever way of narrowing the chimney throat with interlocked angle bricks. I like the top treatment too. Go to the linked page to see a huge version of the same photo

Very nice, looks very natural and rustic. Job well done!

This thread has been inactive for a while. Thought I'd revive it again to see members' pics and ideas on their stonework!

Here are a few pics of my work so far. I'm doing a firepit and my WFO stand in the same stone: sandstone. These rocks are heavy! They should last me a long time!

Enjoy the pics. And I hope to see more pics from the other FB members!!

WOW! Great rock work. Did you scrounge those yourself?

I opted for the manufactured concrete stone. It was readily available and relatively easy to install. I used a "quick-stack" variety which had a consistent height and varying lengths. Wish I had used the individual "stones" - it would have given a more varied lay-up, but I think it looks OK for a first time rock layer.

Thanks lwalper!

I didn't gather them: my brother owns a landscaping company and he had a left-over pallet of sandstone rocks from a job that he did. He called and asked if I wanted them because he had no use for them. He knew I was starting work on my WFO. I said yes! You can't beat free stones!

It's a slow application (because I'm measuring every rock so I can fit it; I'm not cutting the rocks at all), but it's looking good so far.

Your WFO looks great! That thing looks solid!! I can't wait to be where you're at, all done and baking pizzas and bread!!!
