We are working with a client who is wanting a water feature in his office...size would be in the ballpark of 3'x5'. Logo attached to the face with water running down the rock face...any ideas as to where to get such a slab? It doesn't need to be thich like a kitchen counter. Has anyone done one of these projects, if so where did you find the slab? We are in SE Michigan as I am sure shipping would kill on a piece of this size. Thanks in Adsvance. Scott

Check with your local countertop/flooring dealers. They may be able to help you or direct you to any resources in your area. If you are adventurous you could make your own with concrete, or hypertufa.

Your local granite countertop fabricator might also have just what you need in his bone yard. He should also be able to do any special fabricating or cutting you need.

Scott, We worked on a sign just like that. It was an existing sign that wasn't working right. The logo was cut out 1/2" aluminum ,stud mounted 1/2" off of a black rough faced slate. The problem was the water would run down the face, hit the studs and then run out to the back of the logo and drip off the aluminum. The original guy who made it gave up trying to fix it and they called us in. First we painted all the studs flat black so the wouldn't show up from the side. Then we put small o-rings on every stud about 1/8" off the wall. That stopped the water from migrating out. There was a copper trough on the bottom with small smooth stones in it. the water was pumped up behind the sign to a matching trough on the top where it would run out a slot in the bottom and down the face. The o-rings saved the day. I'll have to see if I can get a pic for you.
