Stone Bridge This is one of the projects we’re working on at Stonefest’08.  This will be a drystone bridge with a four foot arch.  The stones leading up to the bridge are a limestone and a dream to work with.  The stones in the arch are utter crap: they split lengthwise when you don’t want them to, and have no other discernible grain.  I think we went through three crates full of stone to get 1/2 a crate’s worth of usable stone. I stopped working on the bridge when the sun got too hot for my pasty white skin, and went off to practice lettering.
