Round and Oval,
Granite Name Plates & Slate House Signs,

The slate has a smooth but not highly polished surface. This shows this lovely material's natural markings and grain - each piece is different. For ovals and rounds, we use slate, which is normally 12mm thick. We usually carve and paint the letters, but for a more contemporary look, we can reverse the process and paint the background and leave the carved lettering grey. Using this method fine detail can be lasered in too. The wedding cake stand was created in this way. The white panel was inlaid into the slate and the text laser etched into it. The granite ovals are 20mm thick, and the rounds are 10mm thick  - both are highly polished.
