A guy told me you can take a punch or chisel to the cut ends you can make them look more like the stone it self. That way you don't have the sawn end showing. Try it out on some scrap and see if you like it, might make the corners look a tad better.
tried chisling the ends....wasn't good...

Down here going from the 90's into the 80's and lower humidity is called a cold front. I'll take it!

Think I'll go put a quick wash job on the truck...hadn't washed it in over a month with all the rain we've been getting. Good thing about silver it doesn't ever look real dirty.

A guy I work with traded in a 09? Chevy RC V6 (upside down on loan) on a 14 GMC Extended cab V6 base model with vinyl floor and is now 50k in debt.

He said he prefers Chevy/GMC because he can PTM the emblems on the truck
