Gosford Quarries’ Sandstone

Mastering the Art of Sandstone

Our Banker stonemasons are masters of their craft, renowned for their meticulous attention to detail.

Their work speaks for itself, with iconic projects like the ANZAC Cannons at Castle Hill and Glenorie RSLs standing as testaments to their skill and precision.

Combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge sandstone technology, our team transforms even the most intricate designs into reality.

Expertly Crafted Sandstone Finishes: The Art of Masonry Hand and Tool Work

At Gosford Quarries, our skilled masons excel in creating a range of sandstone finishes that showcase Australian sandstone’s timeless beauty and versatility. These finishes, each requiring expert hand and tool work, add character and uniqueness to every project.

Bushhammered Finish

This rugged texture is achieved by repeatedly striking the sandstone surface with a bush hammer, creating a uniformly rough and dimpled appearance. The bushhammered finish is perfect for adding grip to paving or creating a rustic, natural aesthetic on walls.

Tooled Margins

Tooled margins involve precisely carving a smooth, narrow border around the edges of a stone. This finish highlights the craftsmanship and provides a sharp, defined contrast to the stone’s central surface, often used in heritage restorations and refined architectural details.

Sparrow Pecking

Sparrow pecking is a delicate technique where the stone’s surface is lightly chipped with a pointed tool, creating a textured finish resembling a bird’s light pecking. This finish adds subtle texture and depth to the stone, which is ideal for decorative elements or heritage projects.

Convict Picking

Inspired by the traditional methods used by early Australian convicts, this finish involves rough, random chipping across the stone’s surface. The convict pick finish evokes a historical charm and rugged authenticity, often employed in heritage sites and restoration projects.

Boasted and Chiselled

The boasted finish, also known as scabbling, is created by cutting parallel lines into the stone with a broad chisel. This technique provides a textured, linear appearance that adds depth and visual interest. Chiselled finishes involve more refined, controlled chisel work, producing crisp, clean lines that enhance the stone’s natural beauty and add a touch of elegance to any project.

Pencil Round

The pencil round finish involves gently rounding the edges of the sandstone, creating a smooth, soft curve. This finish is often used for edges of steps, pool coping, and other architectural details where a polished, elegant look is desired.

Each of these finishes requires the hands of an experienced mason, combining traditional techniques with the precision and artistry that Gosford Quarries is known for. Our masons take pride in their craft, delivering finishes that enhance the aesthetic appeal of sandstone and ensure its durability and longevity.

Personalised Masterpieces, Crafted to Perfection

Our monumental masons are true artists, specialising in bespoke carvings that add a personal touch to any project. From headstones and family crests to school emblems and entry markers, their work is characterised by unparalleled attention to detail and an eye for perfection. With years of experience, our masons are equipped to bring your vision to life, creating pieces that stand the test of time.
