Commercial Stone Fabrication in Austin, Texas
Dovetail Custom Wood & Metal runs its own stone shop in Del Valle, Texas, near Austin, fabricating natural stone, quartz and marble for commercial projects across the United States. The shop makes countertops, fireplace surrounds, wall cladding and desk wraps, often alongside the wood and metal on the same job. General contractors and architects get digital templating, fabrication and installation from one team.
What stone does Dovetail fabricate?
The stone shop works in natural stone, quartz and marble. It makes countertops, fireplace surrounds, wall cladding, desk wraps and other specialty architectural pieces. At St. Edward’s University, stone appears as a wainscot in a presentation room, a lounge wall facing and a reception counter. At TikTok, pink onyx is used at the Level 30 coffee bar and the Level 31 reception. Loren Hotel's cafe bar and island tops are Alpine granite, and Travis Tower includes marble kitchen countertops and a marble bar rail.
How does Dovetail match veining and cut curves?
Dovetail uses Slabsmith technology to align veining across multiple slabs. Digital templating captures precise measurements before fabrication. For curves and custom shapes, the shop mills and thermoforms quartz to get smooth radii. Wood, metal and stone are fabricated under one roof, so countertops, desk wraps and cladding can be coordinated with the wood and metal around them. The St. Edward’s University project page describes the stone shop's use of digital templating and Slabsmith vein matching.
How does stone combine with wood and metal?
Dovetail builds the stone, wood and metal for many pieces, which keeps the interfaces in one set of drawings. The Level 1 leasing desk at Sixth and Guadalupe is wood, stone and metal. The Linden Residences lobby desk is wood, stone and a metal tube structure. At Kuya Wellness, the tea counter has a metal structure, a stone top and wood trim. At Atmosphere TV, the sauna rooms have stone benches on wood substructures.
What does stone work look like across a whole building?
Stone scopes often repeat floor after floor. At Thompson Hotel, stone thresholds and solid surface shower reveals were produced in two-floor groups across levels 5 through 14. At Sixth and Guadalupe, stone appears in the Level 33 dog wash and in penthouse kitchens and bathrooms on Levels 61 to 65. At Linden Residences, stone tops were fabricated for the lobby desk, clubhouse, fitness room and pool bar.
