CUTS

Mankato Kasota Stone, Inc. offers two distinctive cuts:

  • Fleuri Cut: stone is cut with the sedimentary bed, revealing a richly marbled flowered pattern

  • Veine Cut: stone is cut across the beds and exposes the sedimentary, layered nature of the stone


FINISHES

Mankato Kasota Stone, Inc. provides a wide variety of machine and hand-tooled finishes for its dolomitic Minnesota Limestone:

  • Polished: an exceptionally smooth, reflective finish that slightly darkens the natural color of the stone


  • Honed: a non-reflective, near-polished finish


  • Machine Smooth: a flat, smooth finish created by using Carborundum segments to eliminate the marks of the diamond saw


  • Tapestry: a sandblasted finish, either light or heavy, which exposes in relief the natural variations in the stone


  • Sawn: a smooth texture with fine marks produced from the saw blade teeth either in a vertical pattern (gang sawn) or a rotating pattern (block sawn)


  • Natural Strata: the natural ledge top surface which can vary greatly in slab thickness, length and height


  • Split Face: a rough, natural finish created by splitting pieces of stone in a hydraulic press at 4" depths, lengths to 40" and heights ranging from 1½" to 12" for standard Split Face and 1½" to 24" for Sawn-back and Dressed Split Face. (See CAD drawing for details)


  • Rock Face: a hand-tooled finish producing a more controlled, pillow shape with particular attention to consistent edge thickness. (See CAD drawing for details)
