👱🏻‍♀️Join Krista as she keeps up with Don Burton of Stone Selection Ltd ( ‪@stoneselection‬ ).
With a combined experience of 50+ years of stone selection between them, the information download will be intense - intensely educational, that is! ⁣
⁣
As they wander through the art gallery of natural stone that is the Stone Selection showroom, they reveal fascinating details from types and characteristics to the fabrication process of quarried stone.
Just how does that countertop go from underground to sitting atop your kitchen cabinets? ⁣
⁣
We’re sure this will help you feel confident to select the perfect stone for your next home renovation project! ⁣

We're so grateful that Don was willing to be on our podcast. This is NOT a paid promotion. Don is a valued long-term trade partner who did us a great favour by sharing his knowledge with our viewers. THANK YOU, DON!
He was such a wealth of information and a natural teacher that we had to split this into two parts. ⁣
⁣
➡️️ Part 1 - The educational bit. ⁣
➡️️ Part 2 - A tour of their showroom + a few more important insights! You’ll never be confused about what a vein cut, and crosscut is again! ⁣
