Custom Sourcing Part 1 (of 2)
$120.00 – $180.00
American Stonecraft will make a Food Slab, Coaster or Bowlder from a stone you provide. Part 1 of 2 gets you a personalized consultation for selecting a rock, and a special box with a return label that can be dropped at any UPS Store. It also covers shipping for ALL finished pieces once ready. Valid on up to 60 lbs original rock(s). All you need is packing tape and crumpled newspaper to cushion your stone inside the box.
We’re happy to announce our new custom sourcing program. Using the rock of your choice, American Stonecraft will custom craft a Coaster, Food Slab, Trivet or Bowlder especially for you!
Part 1 (of 2) gets you a special empty box with a return label that can be dropped at any UPS Store, plus a custom 3″ x 5″ section on the back of the stone for you to label it however you choose. It also gets you free shipping of ALL finished pieces once they are ready to leave our workshop. Valid on up to 60 lbs of original rock(s). All you need is newspaper to cushion your stone in the box, and packing tape.
After payment of Part 1, we will exchange emails to view your possible rock selections and help you select the right rock for what you want us to make.
Once we have had a chance to begin cutting your rock in our workshop, Part 2 (of 2) is determined based on the exact size and type of product that can be crafted from your rock. The cost of Part 2 is determined by number, type, and size of items you order (see the price list in the photos for reference), and we will email an invoice once the project is complete.
American Stonecraft, Inc. is a Massachusetts Benefit Corporation that tells the story of places through hand-gathered stones sustainably harvested from working farms, or from a place you love.
A few tips and tricks to help you select the right rock for your Milestone: - The rock should be no more than 60 lbs. to qualify for Free Shipping. A bathroom scale is good for this task. - Do your best to choose a rock that is free of fissures or cracks. - Rocks fresh from the Earth tend to hold up to our processes much better than rocks that have been weathering for decades and have lots of moss and lichen. - To get the best sense of coloring, try selecting freshly unearthed rocks, or a rock that is thoroughly rinsed off. - The more colorful and unusual the rock looks from the outside, the more interest there will be in the finished product. Look for splotches of color. - Keep in mind that when we cut through the rock with our diamond blade, the blade will remove at least an eighth of an inch of the stone. - And last but not least: Milestones are even more special when you start with a rock that is meaningful to you in some way!
