    Default Some Travetines i am looking forward to fixing.

    These are some New Travertines my supplier has just been getting in.

    and i am really looking forward to the first job with these.. soon i hope..

    They are 60x30 and 60x60 polished finish and the quality is amazing.. virtually zero filler , the second pic looks like filler but is actually cream bits in the stone structure..

    He has unfilled tumbled pattern sets coming in as well...

    Really nice travertine isn't it..

    Wow, that is pretty. That would look amazing fixed. Make sure you stick some pics up after your first job with them.

    Backs are solid... near enough no holes and the ones that are there are no bigger than a couple mm or so.. really top first grade stone..
