This
was a special job. I followed Bob's recommendations on his DVD
in order to pour concrete over wood. I built the surface based
on his specifications and to this day I have no cracking. Great
DVD! I recommend it to anyone who is serious in building their
decorative concrete business!

Concrete Countertops by Crane
Covington, Louisiana
All
of David's countertops are Buddy Rhodes Mix and are all cast in
place. His integrated sink counters and vessels are all precast
in the shop. David uses powdered stucco color to achieve different
shades & antique finishes, and says he is constantly experimenting
with new materials, shades and finishes.

David always
mixes with ice water and adds Counter-Flo to each batch. These
counters are colored with LaHabra powder called "Alamo".

As an interesting final touch,
David always makes the client a concrete fruit bowl
with what's left in the wheel barrow and his clients love them!.
We, at DCI, can certainly see why!
