Skiff Mountain Terrace 2008
We hand-split this 17' edger or curb for the parking terrace from a large flat piece of Norfolk ledge. As we moved off the terrace to do a connecting walk, a large truck parked here to discharge construction materials for the house interior - the terrace stones stayed in place.
