Jon, it would be similar with different cut speeds and plunges. It will be harder on the bits, I think, but Wags or Matt D can tell you better than I could. You even finish sand when you're done.

The joint fill technique took me back a few years. They took the sanding dust and reintroduced it into the epoxy for the seam fill. This is what we did in the early sol surf days, before joint adhesive ('81). We got pretty good seams out of that, but I am sure there are better alternatives out there.

Two coats of sealant, and the top will patina a bit with age and light, and then stay pretty much as it is supposed to.

David, I don't think it will be a concrete replacement material, but it would be a better swap for the customer, I think.

The distributor is based on green materials. That's his main focus. They've got bamboo plywood (plyboo?), used to sell paperstone, I think, other stuff too highbrow for me to remember.

I thought that Jon would love these guys, so I wrote his name (for a good time call "Sterling Jon" at...) on the particularly nasty bathroom walls.
