*8 months in on the restoration of an 1860's farmstead for the county historical society. (which is nice, as I've been able to thread smaller jobs in to help get through the downturn)
we need to recreate a stone hearth and fireplace in the stone kitchen to match the two in the parlors of the main house. The stone appears to have been sawn and then dimpled with a pointed chisel and mallet. Its bluish fieldstone but not sedimentary, I wonder if their are any sources for this. The firebox is like a Rumford with a rougher stone back wall that I'm assuming was parged with mortar. I'll try and attach a pic if it'd help.
