Here's the base for the granite table-top that will be arriving one of the next few days! Yes, the base of this (which weighs between 600 & 700 pounds) is a granite slab (if you will) that Todd Braun has bored out and inserted four three inch diameter stainless steel pipes, which will support the 110 inch by 43 inch (3 inch thick) tabletop. In the picture you see the wooden dowels on which the base is resting. We used these to maneuver it into position. The whole operation went smoothly thanks to Cornelio and his Bobcat, and the timely arrival of Myron! It was like moving in a mini-pyramid. Well okay, not really, but anytime you move stone using rollers, and it works, you feel pretty good about yourself. You feel your kinship with the ancients. And you're happy to get the job done without crushing your toes.
