Texas Cordova Cream is a very soft limestone with a rich yellow hue. The softness would not last in a northern climate outdoors, but indoors it is fine, and sometimes just the right stone for the application.
This detail, shot during the installation, shows the detail of the leg.
They asked me to design and include a crest and monogram in the piece.
Usually a sketchbook and a pencil and a bare wall work for a starting point in the design process, but really, there is no “typical” custom fireplace.
