Maybe I am being optimistic because my job depends on the success of the stone industry, but it seems that in conversations that I have had with fabricators over the past couple of weeks, I am hearing that business seems to be picking up with a greater level of consistency than a month or two ago. Back then, it seemed that a shop could have a good week or so, but then it would be followed by two or three slow weeks. Now the growth seems to be more consistent. With this in mind, I asked the following question to a group of professionals from the Stone Fabricators Alliance (SFA) earlier this week. "Does your business seem to be picking up on a consistent level? Are you still getting beat up on price? What seems to be the mindset of customers who approach your shop?"
