Celestial Engraved Travertine Bookends
Hefty solid travertine bookends with custom etched celestial motif. Hand chiseled mountain profile details with soft semi rounded profile base. With the anti skid bottoms and the heavy weight of the natural stone, these bookends work very well in function as well as beauty. 8" tall x 7" long x 5.5" wide. Each bookend is comprised of 1/2" thick hand selected travertine. Three pieces are hand shaped and machined to size. They include precise dado and rabbit joints for strength and rigidity. The pieces are then epoxied together using a special epoxy used in granite counter top fabrication for a permanent, heirloom quality construction. These wonderful bookends can be customized or personalized with a variety of wording or graphical elements such as tree of life, Celtic knots, nature and wildlife, corporate logos, monograms and slogans etc. Please inquire for your specific application or as a unique gift for that special loved one!

For Carved Travertine Tile Border5.0Joe is a true artisan. The tile border is perfect for my needs. Communication is very prompt and helpful. To say his packaging is robust would be an understatement....I see no way anything could ever be broken even by the worst baggage gorilla of a transporter. Really shows he wants things to be right. THANKS a million for a great project. If I ever need more custom tiles, you'll be the first person I reach out to.

Joe was so responsive, from the planing phase to the actually delivery of the tile. Joe your token gift was just the kindest ! I totally love the coasters. I will send you a picture when the tile is placed, I am sure it won't be till late summer.

For Andrew's Sign4.3I am very happy with the product and thought Joe was very professional. I would definitely recommend him. The only suggestion I would make is for final project to be displayed in type of environment (inside or outside) so it will end up so lighting that would depict more accurate view for final approval. However, truly satisfied with Joe's work.

For KAREN's laser engraved wood wall hanging5.0This was my first time to use this website, and I could not be happier. The process, the response and end product all were top-rate. I asked if the completed project could be completed sooner than proposed, and Joe @ Artisan Fabricating came thru for me. The engraved plaques arrived on Sat in time for me to give them as Easter presents at my family gathering. Thank you so much! I have already shared your website with several, and I plan to be a repeat customer.
