How do I make a granite dining table?
Does anyone have experience in having a granite table custom made? I would like to find out if I can simply order a round or oval piece of granite and place it upon some type of stand…..and voila—a dining table!
A friend of mine is a stone-mason specilising in granite, I helped him build a granite kitchen in his house (floor, worktops, sink etc – not the cupbaords themselves).
You can order granite pieces made to your specifications in whatever shape you want. In some cases you may be able to go to the quarry and choose the piece of raw material that will be worked for you.
I’d suggest contacting a local monumental mason (gravestone maker) as they’ll often do bespoke pieces and if not they should be able to point you in the right direction.
Like glass, granite is brittle and if you drop something heavy on a thin piece it will shatter. For that reason a piece the size of a dining table will need to be quite thick. either that or it’s going to need a lot of supports underneath or it’s going to have to be a sheet of granite laid on top of a more conventional wooden table.
You can have your granite table top carved if you wish so you could have some decoration around the edges or whatever takes your fancy.
