Trays, rocks and rock slabs

Post by eliass »

Any one know where I can source these in Melbourne ?

Does anyone import the white marble type trays used for rock settings?

Also the rocks which look like the mountains of china...

And of course slabs ?

Hi eliass,

Your post was a long time ago but did you have any luck getting marble trays? I need one for a rock setting with a small weeping willow but I haven't had any luck.

Hi Matt S,
My suggestion is to go to your local Marble/Granite supplier and talk to him. Some will do it. The decorate feet you see under them, is just a machining back to appear like feet. The edges above could be glued, however, they will not be able to polish the inside edge of the lip, but it should be very shallow anyway and not noticable.
Give them your preferred size and get a price.

Hi Matt S,
I have a 600x500x10mm rectangular White Marble one underway at the moment for a Penjing project.

Hi Black Knight.

I'd love to see some pics when you get it, and when it's planted up!

Matt.
