Don't think I posted these yet......progress on my own master. All travertine cut from 18x18's and hand-chamfered....1x1 lime/marble insets w/ 1/2x1/2 glass/lime inset....been ready for grout about 6 weeks now.

Shower went quick, rest has been slow....painful. I just need one more day added to each week...between Sat and Sun would be nice.

hey Nick, I'll give you a tip before you go on your own.
try using white thinset on natural stone, not that AcryPro mastic :no:

Can you give me a little more info? Is it going to be a problem? I had heard that it was better to use the mastic on drywall. I've never worked with anyone that really knew what they were doing with tile I'm kind of self taught on it. I try to read and learn as much as possible.

THANKS Patrick

Just went upstairs and got a couple pics....thanks for asking/noticing. Besides the floating live-edge seat that is one of my favorite details. I can't wait to see it grouted....it's meant to look like single wall/floor transition pieces.

I only broke one of the long ones (1 3/4" x 18") during install, which sucked cause they are all matched to their wall mates, except for the corner medallions that I made lighter toned on purpose to set them off.

blue ridge, That is one of the most impressive showers i have ever seen here. Perfect layout, joint alignment between walls and floor. What do you use for a snapper/ saw?

Thanks for the compliment.....nice that people notice those details.

Thanks also has to go out to all the pro's on this site. They have really helped me take my tile skills to the next level.

I use a DeWalt wet saw (which I bought after advice from Angus, the Masta...etc). Have never used a snapper, but listening to the real tile pro's around here makes me think I should get one.

Sincere thanks again for the kind words.

For me both a saw a a snapped a have their place. A snapper is awesome and time saving for straight cuts and on the right material.
