Timber-frame great room with a full-height hand-laid stone fireplace

Kennedy Stone Craft · Colorado

Stone, faced by hand.

Artisanal full-bed masonry for new construction and remodels — four-inch stone, dressed with hammer and chisel, laid the way the old trades did it.

Why it looks different

Four inches thick. Not a veneer.

Most “stone” on new homes today is a thin facing glued to the wall. We work the old way: full-bed stone, four inches and more, each block faced by hand with hammer and chisel, then laid to carry its own weight. It looks different because it is different — depth, shadow, and mass no veneer can fake.

The craftsman

Three decades in the trade.

Scott Kennedy learned stonework in the 1990s from the old trade craftsmen of southern Indiana — America’s limestone country, where the stone for the Empire State Building was quarried. He’s been facing and laying stone ever since.
