That is SO cool!
So how do you do it?

The front is cut into sections and after cutting each piece at an angle it's epoxied back together. . . Then a bit of grinding and polishing . . . wah . . la . .

Wow...now you have to teach Scott at BCS for my next house!

Just out of curiosity sake...how much does this sink cost compared to a stock sink?

Great job! I wish I lived in FL instead of MI where I could use your talents.

Thanks for sharing - That is one beautiful piece of art! Lucky person who will have it in their home!

That's beautiful!!! Very sculptural. I'd love to have me one of those!!!

Gorgeous, Joshua. A real tour de force in soapstone artistry! I love to see your work.

Amazing. And I also am dying to know "how much?"

WOW love it. That would be a sink to design your kitchen around. Makes you wish you could start over. Well maybe not but it's really cool.

That's beautiful.

I ordered soapstone samples from M. Teixeira last week - I can't wait to get them. I was happy to see that they have a distributor/fabricator in Florida. With any luck I'll get to go over there before too long.

That is gorgeous work. Beautiful stone, too!

Wow, Joshua. Just wow.

Show off!!! Please come back to Bucks County Soapstone so you can do my kitchen!!!

Hmmmm. . . a soapstone fabricator in Florida. . . I wonder who that could be. .lol

Cost. . . for you...we can make a very good deal :) We could play it's a "one of a kind" game and say $100,000. :) and then I'll be buying a sailboat and moving to the islands. lol

but honestly it took a lot of time to make it but I'm sure I can make one better and faster than I made this one. You will have to know that if it is left unoiled the seams will show on the front of the sink. It did come out better than I expected though. After hashing it out with Mimi (who really runs the show) maybe around 1500 or 1600. This one will prob be hanging out in our still-in-progress showroom.

So, when will you be delivering that to my place Joshua?!?!? I neeeeeeed that sink! :)

That is indeed a truly amazing sink.

Too bad Hubby doesn't like soapstone.

pbrisjar.. time to get rid of the hubby.. and get that sink! LOL.. kidding of course.. sorta.. lol.. Joshua.. never mind listening to holligator.. I NEEEEEEEEED the sink more.. wait.. I need a whole new house first.. give it to holligator! I'll put my name on the list.. oh.. wait.. does Mimi have one of the sinks yet? lol

Beautiful!!!! Forget about my modern kitchen... I want that!

Joshua that is beautiful. Did you and Mimi ever get a sink from Nor'east ? Just wondering and would love to see it if you did. Caroline

Beautiful! Are you installing it in your own kitchen?

That is absolutely beautiful -- I thought it was a tub from the first pictures.

Ok, now you're just teasing us!! It's a work of art!

I'd love it even if it doesn't go with the rest of my kitchen! :-)

No Caroline, we didn't get a sink from Nor'east yet. We are waiting until our "showroom in progress" gets closer to being done. And also we are waiting for that "one" we must have.. . . LoL

Thanks for all the kind words. . .

How big is that gorgeous monster? We want dimensions!

Any suggestions where to purchase the drill parts for making a drain hole in our soapstone? We have excess and like to make a vanity sink for fun! Drain hole production is my dilemna! Thinking one bit for the drain and another for outside dimension then sanding to make the flange fit? One bit would be great!?

Wow, I'm just finding this post now. Very nice work Joshua! I'm dead curious what kind of epoxy you used that doesn't show in either the veins or the dark field areas. Mind sharing the secret?

- D

Hey Don,

I think the secret is more getting a tight seam rather than getting the perfect color. Black will work fine and better than clear. Big veins you'll have to work differently. I probably wouldn't choose to put a huge vein in the front of one of these sinks though.
