We're back at Natural Stone Outlet.

Today we are going to make a comparison

about vein-cut Travertine and cross-cut

Travertine. There is a lot of confusion

about what Travertine is all about,

how it can be presented.

And essentially we are going to make a

comparison between these two types,

the two ways that you can present the

Travertine.. as vein-cut or as cross-cut.

So we are here in Turkey, at the

warehouse, at the factory with lots of

Travertine slabs. So we're going to show you,

you know, make the comparison and

show you everything about it.

So, starting on this side we

have the vein-cut Travertine. This is the

beige type, classic type of travertine and

the vein-cut essentially, this is the

natural way of the travertine, so you can

see all of these lines, all of this vein.

This is how, during years and years and

years, and hundreds of years, the

travertine evolved, so basically all the

sediments, all the elements accumulated.

And this is what you get at the end. You see

all of the layers. So essentially, you see the

light beige, the brownish dark beige colour,

so there's quite some contrast

between the elements, the colour tones.

And what's particular about it is that you

see, you know, the parallel vein running

along the surface all over the stone.

So this is the vein-cut Travertine,

so the blocks come out of the quarry,

they are sawn the way they are

extracted and you get this vein-cut

structure. On the other hand, we have the

cross-cut. So, cross-cut essentially you

get the block, you turn it, you sawn the

slabs and this is what you get.

You don't have any parallel vein

structure, instead you have this kind of

clouded areas, this kind of irregular

clouded areas. You still see some colour

contrast, you see the light beige, you see

the dark beige.

So all-in-all, what you see is this kind of

irregular structure, without any vein.

This would be the cross-cut Travertine.

So i'm going to show you some more slabs

that, you know, represent well the

comparison. Again, we have the vein-cut

Travertine for the classic beige.

You have the dark areas, you have the light

areas, there is a slight colour contrast.

This is a parallel vein, pretty much all

over the surface. This is a very

predictable structure, you know, always

have the same kind of parallel vein, you

know, that's how naturally the stone

evolved... with parallel

layers, so this is what you get: the vein-cut

Travertine. And again, we have some

more cross-cut Travertine on this side. This one is

slightly darker than the previous one,

it´s a bit more brownish. But still, you can see

there´s quite some contrast between the

colours, dark.. lighter.. darker.. and

lighter.. lots of shades, lots of clouds,

but no parallel vein.

So that's it. This video was quite a good

introduction about this, about the

Travertine. You can expect this kind of

structure basically on any kind of

Travertine. On Yellow

Travertine, on Noce Travertine, on any

kind of Travertine, you might expect

vein-cut and cross-cut. So if you need to

I think out of all of the thousands we've actually had, only about five went onto success.

Weird Love Song. Here's Cate and Simon.

I think we had Cate Blanchett on.

[Singing]

Red Faces was never for me. It can be really hard to dig yourself out of the Red Faces hole if you went on.

How do you turn up to a gig and say, 'Yeah I'm the guy who was the fourth contestant on Red Faces 11 months ago. You might remember me.'

Red Faces was entertaining. Unless it was black faces.
