Yesterday was the perfect day for stone-grinding -if you are into that sort of thing.
Hubby donned a yellow wet suit and set up shop out in the side yard. He spent hours wet-sanding our reclaimed slate counter-tops.
It made quite the racket. I could hear the noise all the way up the river in my kayak, where thoughts of baking on those smooth, luscious black counter-tops made me shiver with delight.
He made numerous phone calls to our kitchen guy and local hardware stores to inquire about sealing the finished top. No one really knows for sure what to use. If it is left unfinished, it looks quite gray. But when wet, it glows with a rich inky depth.
Here is a view of the unsealed top. It's divinely buttery soft to the touch.
Pie crusts all over St. Lawrence County will be lining up to be rolled out here. Just you wait & see!
