Bush Hammered
Traditional hammer technique creates a rugged, aged natural texture
Bush Hammered Finish — Artisanal Heritage Texture
The bush hammered finish is one of the oldest stone finishing techniques, originating from traditional European masonry. A pneumatic or manual hammer fitted with a grid of pointed steel tips is repeatedly applied to the stone surface, creating a uniformly pocked, rough texture. The result closely resembles the aged, weathered appearance of historic stone buildings and monuments.
