Lucarne Labours

Adam has spent the last two weeks transforming the cut stones we got from the quarry in October into the finished Lucarnes (stone gabled windows). He's produced a finish that looks very natural and even included a few "accidental" imperfections to give them the look and feel of hand cut and worked stone.
