Building with Stone

by Charles McRaven

Few structures are as timeless as those built of stone. Stone is durable, needs little maintenance, and is one of the best materials to accent a garden because it blends in well with wood, soil and plants.

This book covers all the basics of building with stone and includes step-by-step instructions on how to build walls, stone fireplaces, dams, stone bridges, a barbecue pit, stone barns, and much more. Also reviews the tools needed.

Written by a stone mason with decades of building experience. This is an essential reference for anyone planning a stone building project.
