Verne Tower, a stone cutter, is re-creating a very elaborate marble stoop for a historic mansion in Hudson, NY. Here, he'll show us.
While Verne may be doing wonderful restoration and preservation of historical buildings, I think his real contribution might very well be preserving skills and a technology that is disappearing faster than the buildings he works on.
After a lunch break, Verne showed me how he makes the detailed radius end of a step.
And finally, in its place in Hudson, NY, on Warren Street, the "old" stoop just as if it had always been there!
