peer agreement (net): +1omit it Explanation: I don't think we have a similar expression in English. To say "the normal direction of sawing is parallel to the bedding ("along-the-bedding" sawing)" would be ridiculous. I think you're mistaken about your interpretation of à passe. If anything, "cross-cut" would be à contrepasse. I'd have to check if "cross cut" is said of stone. For timber, certainly, and special saws are used, but timber is a "linear oriented" material, with grains and fibre: stone is far less so, and I very much doubt separate saws are used for cutting in different directions. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2009-11-10 16:36:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ooops! Wrong about there not be a special terms in English!

The veined pattern of this cut is most suited for sills and coping, however this can be used for all other applications. Fleuri cut stone is cut with the sedimentary bed, which reveals a rich, marbled and flowered pattern. Fleuri is suitable for all applications. http://www.mankatokasotastone.com/architectural/finishes_cut... |
