Blocks having the rough shape planed out.

Fore ground; rough arch after having shape planed.

Back ground; another arch piece nearly completed by the stone cutter.

You can see how the progressive arch is narrow on the right and widens as it moves to the left

Before shipping the right and left sides were temporarily pieced together.

The straight pieces can planed leaving virtually no hand stone cutting.

Because this straight molding terminated in a "wash" it had to be had cut.
