Stone masons are skilled craftsmen who work with stone to create structures, sculptures, and other architectural features. They use various tools to cut, shape, and assemble stones, ensuring that their work is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Common projects include buildings, walls, and monuments, often seen in historical sites and modern constructions alike. The art of stone masonry dates back thousands of years, with ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks employing these techniques to build iconic structures. Today, stone masons may specialize in different types of stone, such as granite, marble, or limestone, and often work closely with architects and builders to bring designs to life.
