I like that too. Too me dry stack is the most natural looking stone work. Even if its some modern methods using man made materials it still looks better than everything else including other stone patterns with real rocks. Ill have it on my new home if i have to learn how myself.

thanks for sharing! I always enjoy looking at stonework as thats how i started in masonry. admire the skill needed to do brick but pictures of a brick wall just look like a brick wall. stonework is new and different everytime.
