Which soapstone to choose - Orig Pa or Jucca?
Comments (7)Wow, Lucretzia, I missed this thread when you first posted. But I'm surprised to see you conclude that Green Mountain Original PA is not hard enough. That is the stone that I have and I got it from Jay at Garden State Soapstone. And, in fact, one of the reasons why I chose this stone is that I found it to be much harder than many others I sampled. I've had it installed in my kitchen for a little over a year now and have had no problems with scratching and dinging that simple oiling hasn't resolved. I haven't even found it necessary to sand anything. For others looking for a fairly hard soapstone, I would definitely recommend Green Mountain Original PA....See Moreoriginal PA soapstone, off white cabs, cherry island. Color sink
Comments (2)that was my thought. Love the way it blends in but my mother thought the biscuit might pick up the veins in the soapstone....See MoreNew Jersey Soapstone People-can I see your soapstone inperson?
Comments (4)You could see my soapstone in Mendham NJ, which is probably too far. I purchased it from Bucks County Soapstone in Perkasie PA. I highly recommend visiting their workshop to touch and see their stone, fabrication and designs...it is not like any other showroom. They may have customers in your area to visit. Let me know if Mendham is an option. Here is a link that might be useful: Bucks County Soapstone...See MoreSoapstone template layed out today---look at my Original PA!
Comments (3)Thanks! I have natural cherry cabs...I've got pics posted at a longer thread that includes more about the whole project. Will keep posting pictures as it progresses... Here is a link that might be useful: Berf's renovation progress......See Morepennfire
