Q: In which method of stone dressing, a 20 mm wide margin is made along the edges of the stone and irregular sinking about 10 mm wide & 5 mm deep are marked in the interior portion?
  • A. Reticulated finish
  • B. Vermiculated finish
  • C. Boasted finish
  • D. Hammer dressing
Correct Answer: Option A - Reticulated finish– In this type of finish a 20 mm wide margin is made along the edges of the stone and irregular, sinking about 10 mm wide and 5 mm deep are marked in the interior portion. The margin around the sinking is of constant width. The sunk surface may have punched Marks to give a better appearance. Hammer dressing– In hammer dressing, the large raised portion of the stones are broken off and the stone is shaped somewhat flat but rough due to hammer marks. Boasted finish– It contain intermittent parallel lines which are horizontal or vertical or inclined. It is obtained by a tool called boaster which have can edge of width about 60 mm. Vermiculated finish– In this of stone is same as the reticulated finish except that they are more curved and give a worm-eaten type appearance.
