For the 3D Honed ledger panels, natural stone is cross-cut to enhance its patterning and variegation. It is stacked using varying sizes and staggered depths, with stones of slightly different shades. The stone surfaces have a satiny look and feel, thanks to the honed finish. Alaska Gray 3D Honed Marble is an example, featuring shades of gray, stones that show dramatic veining and others that are subtle.
