John M. Hess

I have 18+ years experience carving stone.

Specialties

I enjoy working with Indiana Limestone, Texas Cream Limestone, marble, Texas Lueders. I create fireplace surrounds, limestone exterior trim, restoration sculptures.

“Stone carving is physical, mental and emotional work. I take great pride in hand selecting the stone, and with each strike of the hammer, watching it come to life. The attention to unique detailing can create a presence that cannot be duplicated in a factory.”
