travertine shelves

[kilty55]

hi all,i have a trav job next week to start and i was going to try and nick hillheads usage of his marble shelves he uses in his bathroom and do something similar using trav for a corner shelf on this job,my q is if i sandwich two trav tiles back to bak with white addy once they are cut and shaped down to size and bullnosed the front edges on the curve do u think this would look good as a shelf or is it not going to work?

I don't see any reason that it won't. As long as the shelf is not too big.
You often see Stone used on worktops that is 20mm thick but has an extra piece put on the front to give it a 35mm 'look'. Mind you that is usually granite which is a lot harder!

Thief:yikes:lol
you could stick two together for sure.i'v done plenty in trav.
make sure you have the tiles cut well around them to give them strength and allow a couple of mm for grout
