Redwood
Stone is a second generation family business which has specialised in
stone garden ornament for more than 25 years. Based in the
small Cathedral City of Wells in the West of England, the company's
craftsmen draw on the local stone masonry traditions and
skills to produce a cast stone which is almost identical to cut
natural stone in every way but one - cost.
The
unique feature of Redwood Stone ornaments is that they are
made using named natural stones (Cotswold or Portland) thus avoiding
the false colours created by the use of pigments or dyes.

These
stones are quarried and crushed, and used to produce
a reconstructed stone with a fine honeycomb finish that
is of the same nature as that produced by a stonemason's time-honoured
skills. After the production process each piece is
hand-finished to ensure that its appearance is as close as
possible to that of cut natural stone.
The
beauty of using natural stone is that each piece will combine with the
forces of nature to mellow with age in the same way as an item carved
from solid stone.

| This
natural 'weathering' is more authentic than artificial
methods, and will actually increase the value of your investment. |
Each
Redwood Stone ornament is produced from the original concept
to the finished article in the company's own design studio, origination
and mould-making workshops. In addition to their standard
designs, Redwood Stone will produce commissions of any kind.
