And after mortar joints (grouting) and cap stone (limestone) it looks like this-
Try to see past the panel absorbers, I'll probably move those...
The mortar joints are still quite dark in these pics as it was still quite wet.
They've dried to the typical light gray color you would expect to see with mortar (Portland) cement.
If you look closely at the joints you'll see it's not a typical "concave" joint.
These have a fine line in the middle. Back here in the northeast we call this a "grapevine joint".
It's just the tooling in the handheld jointer that makes the line. I prefer to use it over a standard (concave) jointer especially when the mortar joints are a bit larger than normal (which these were).
It can help to hide a rather large (and perhaps ugly) mortar joint lol.
