This is a beginner's guide to using natural stone - as opposed to quarried or polished stone - as a building material. It includes detailed instructions for making natural stone constructions that are both useful and aesthetically pleasing - a stone wall, a fireplace, a barbecue pit, a patio, even a small dam or a house. The author shows how to select the proper stones for a specific project, how to work with uncut stone, drystone and mortar construction, and how to obtain and care for stone-working tools.
