Reminds me of a coffee table top an associate of mine had.

The slab of marble came from a retrofit of the men's room of a 100+ year old multistory industrial building in downtown Cleveland.

Slab has served as a stall divider for many years.

A good soak in a murrain acid bath and the slab was gunk free and ready for fabrication.

Don't remember how, but the holes for the hardware bolts were turned into accent features.

Doug, If my math's correct, it's just a little under 300 pounds of marble. Probably some adhesion to the ground, too. Kerry

Shoot - make an outdoor kitchen and use the bags to make stack wall sides to the kitchen area .... fireplace. Hearth mosaic...

It would make for a nice glue up table. Glue doesn't stick...

I call shenanigans. In 19 minutes after the first post, they break and bag 20+ sq ft of 1" marble than rush in to make the second post. Cute post, but bullstein.

I don't care how long it soaked, my reaction is still "eewww"

... snip

I'm thinking that last sentence is what they discovered the hard way, thus the second posting
