Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on May 03, 2013louise, I cannot help you with who, but as far as expense. It should not be to bad, unless your looking for a really fancy edge. Normal half round edges are pretty inexpensive. While the more fancy ones that take several passes of the machine to make them begin to get quite expensive. I have seen some edges costing as much as $12 per foot and have heard of prices going higher then that. The cutting to size however is not all that much money.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on May 03, 2013Ask your neighbor. It sounds like he is having some new granite installed. If so the installer could cut the other piece as well.Helpful Reply

C&K Custom Remodeling on May 05, 2013Call granite suppliers in your area and ask them for a couple for referrals for granite fabricators. You can then take them the slab and they will come measure, cut, and install.Helpful Reply

Sherrie on May 05, 2013We have a company that sales rough piece of granite at a discount. We picked a piece and had them cut it, and hope I am saying this right polish the edges. We have also cut pieces that aren't to thick with a tile saw with a diamond blade. I would take it to a company and have them do it, looks professional.Helpful Reply

Louise on May 05, 2013Kimberly C, I had a neighbor who put out several things when she moved and I got a couple of things to re-purpose. One was a sturdy desk that I'm going to make into a TV stand. I plan to post the before and after when it's done. I saw a similar one online so when I saw her castoffs, I immediately knew it would work for me. LOVE freebies that turn into something nice.Helpful Reply
