Spalted Maple Slab width varies from 16-17 inches wide to 21 inches, it is 5 foot long 1 1/2" thick, the bark is nice and tight, I will apply Glue the help in preserving that look, some finishers remove the bark for fear of it coming off.

For NO water meter stepping stonesThis is my first experience using Custom Made and the owner of Ponchatoula Antiques & Statuary, Ron Costanza, gives me faith that there are still businessmen in the U.S. that stand behind their word. Ron completed my request for custom garden stones exactly has he described and you won't match his quality at Home Depot or Lowes. As a business owner myself it is getting more difficult to work with companies that have outgrown their capabilities but Ron provided me with high quality product at a fair price. He is very creative with his craftsmanship and I hope to do business with him again in the future. Thanks! Eric Moore
