Just last month the book he was working on was released by Schiffer Publishing. I am very excited by the book which is called Built with Stone: Eight Contemporary Artisans. It includes several projects, including the secretive Cabin on Mitchell’s Peak, a structural stone house I built with Fred Lashley and the Unturned Stone. The book is available from local booksellers and online merchants. There’s some amazing work in there by masons from all across the country.

In April 2012 I will again be offering do-it-yourself flagstone classes at the North Carolina Arboretum. Check back soon for dates and details.

In the magazine I alone am credited with the wall, though I completed it with Jesse Friedrichs, stone mason and Jody Maney, equipment operator and helper. It’s bomber!

I will be there to discuss Sustainability in Stonework Construction.
As I have prepared for this I have been developing a visual tool I call the Green Target, shown above, that is useful for analyzing sustainability on four important attributes. It is meant to promote dialogue and provoke creative solutions for making stonework greener.
I have just added three new pages to the site that summarize what I’ll be covering.

These ideas are still in development and your feedback is most helpful.
