Field stone

Here is a nice field stone with very tight joints. The surface of the stone is very flat, and with the tight joints the stone does not have a lot of depth perception. However, in person this is a very nice looking product. I would probably use a grout bag and add same color mortar in the joints to give a more monolithic look. The joints became my focus point on the wall. The right side of the window has a stacked stone versus the left side with the random pattern. The window looks plane. If the window had a pre-cast header or even a stone arch this would show case the window a lot better. The applicator did spend a lot of time special cutting to help give the tight fit. So why not spend time on the windows? This is like putting good wine in a dirty bottle.
