Oiling your soapstone

Did you know when you very first apply mineral oil to your soapstone, it will look green? But don’t fret, after a day or two, it will oxidize to the true darkness it was meant for. Here are a few examples on a PA Original slab. The area on the right was oiled 3 days prior to the rest of the slab. The the last photo shows what the whole slab looks after 3 days of mineral oil. 1 DAY COMPARED TO 3 DAYS OF OIL1 DAY COMPARED TO 3 DAYS OF OILPA ORIGINAL OILED

The client arranged the templates on the slab, the way they’d like it to be cut.

Soapstone Firebox

We have lots of gray days here in Seattle, Washington. So we love having the fireplace roaring in the Fall & Winter months. The most efficient way, is having the fire as hot as it can get, and having it stay warm as long as it can. The solution is having soapstone installed inside your firebox. Here is a photo of a chevron pattern with soapstone firebricks. Another popular design is the herringbone pattern. This is hands down, the best material you can use to retain temperature!

You can have a flat front, a bowed or scooped front, an angled or tilted front. It can be farm style, or just a single or double undermount.
