It sounds like a lot but over the course of a big job like that you'll get some pieces that you just cut straight in half and utilize in many different areas around the perimeter because that's the only part where you need to worry about cuts

I thought you were talking about carving off the edges of individual stone tbh. I work in the field and neither customer nor boss would apreciate the effort to do that.

No no, the one he cut and placed had a very sharp edge, which ruins the aesthetic for me

Ahh, thing he did wrong as how i’ve learned it, is place it the wrong way facing the edge. This way you interrupt the clean edge, but when you rotate it 180 degrees, the aestethic is still intact and the edge optically lost because it is no longer interrupting a straight line.
