Repurposing and practicality do not always go hand in hand. But the good outweighs the potential waste.

This slate and now countertops was acquired from @bigskybilliards. They were deemed unusable due to imperfections that resulted from damages during shipping. Quarried in Brazil, shipped to one of our US ports, and making its way to Missoula, MT - the amount of embodied energy is immense, I couldn’t let all those calories of energy go to waste. The color and texture is as unique as the home they are installed in.

Thanks to @hellgate_forge for cutting the slate. This is one of the last steps into the looong awaiting completion of the basement unit of the duplex I started building over 10 years ago. Hilary, calls it my art project, and she might be right. Reuse is art.
