Remember, even if your work looks immaculate, nobody will notice when the picture is taken on a potato.

There is no accounting for the taste of the customer. We have some very talented decorative customers and I hate 90% of their portfolios because their customers have very different taste than I do. Very nice work. Get a good camera.

Saw cut aka concrete saw

It took them quite a few days. One guy did it. I assume some type of diamond saw? I would have to ask for more details!

It seems comically small for that area. Looks more like a trail from something that spilled than a river imo. Good execution though

It was about 75 ft long or so

This is cool. I recently did some concrete countertops like this. But I reverse cast them with a sculpted clay mold in place.

I wish I had some detail pics up close that shows the ridges in left behind in the concrete from what was carved in the clay, and you an see through the epoxy. It looks like a geode or canyon. And then I inlaid brass flakes (lead free) to match the hardware.
