The more natural looking the better.
The job that's not dry laid I would call ashlar. Although it's not a true ashlar.

Please define "Ashlar" so I do not have to research it. Besides the fact that I would rather hear it DIRECTLY from a Pro!

Re: Couple Wall Pics


I took the easy way out.


Ashlar is dressed stone work of any type of stone. Ashlar blocks are large rectangular blocks of masonry sculpted to have square edges and even faces. The blocks are generally 13 to 15 inches in height. When smaller than 11 inches, they are usually called "small ashlar".
Ashlar blocks are used in the construction of many old buildings as an alternative to brick. Generally the external face is smooth or polished; occasionally it can be decorated by small grooves achieved by the application of a metal comb. (This process is usually used only on a softer stone ashlar block. The decoration is known as mason's drag.
