    Default uncalibrated slate????????

    hiya..... the customer was happy,,but i think it looks odd!
    is the whole idea with this type of stone is to make it look uneven!!
    I'm not used to this sort of finish,and just wondered if anyone has the same view?
    its a nice stone to work with,,but think ill recommend calibrated next time.
    but then its not up to me....

    the main thing is if the customer is happy,then im happy(but i duno i still think it looks odd!)work 2 011.jpgwork 2 012.jpgwork 2 014.jpgwork 2 015.jpg

    A customer will pick tiles based on how they looked in the display in the shop unless they are clued up. These tiles will never be perfect and this should be explained to customer at the start of the job! You have done a good job from what i can see, before you frout you can allways chissel ane high corners off but you will never get it perfect!
