I live in England and I used limestone powder-Hydrated lime and pozzolan mix which overall gave me the same result. Also, good to limewash in the end to protect it from the elements. Raw lime or lime putty 50% and linseed oil or Tallow mixture with a bit of limestone powder for colouring.
Thanks Al, its a difficult match, back in the day it was shear perfection, but the original manufacturer took the formula too his grave and so were stuck with the guess work of whoever took over.
Mr. Ferree, great summary. I enjoy your work. Could you do an overview of what you do? I presume your stone work is not just for fun and you have made it your profession? Looking around the shop behind you in this video and I thought I'd like to know more about what all that stone is for and what you do.
We have a video coming up in a week or so that shows what happens. The shop you see here is not my shop, I was there for a few hours to make videos, but the work is real and professional.
Know, I can't think of any, just find a piece and start playing with it, as I've said before, try soapstone to start. it can be whittled with small knifes and xacto knifes.
Hello David,, Its simple, just mix some dirt with water and brush it on the patch, after it has cured to a solid form, but has not neccessarily reached a full cure.
thanks for these Wayne!!! and thanks to Mike for telling us about your artistry .... superb
Thanks for watching

Thank you, this valuable info, I appreciate it very much.
Intresting. I've never heard of that mortar before.

Wayne says ... Get it wet...
Right Mike ? Good job...
Thanks John
You do that similarly to me making ornate plaster repair..

Great video, just in time to patch my limestone that’s chipped. Do you happen to have any good book recommendations on working with limestone?
I don't sorry to say but that doesn't mean that there aren't some out there. I'm trying to get some videos made into next few years.

Mr. Feree, what is the mud trick that you used at the end to get such a great matching color? Thanks for the video.
