Hello all, just wanted to point out that you have to be careful when
reusing marble because it is porous to a certain extent, and might not be
suitable for fabricating a surface upon which food was to be prepared.....

I learned this when reworking a couple of 1" marble slabs that were
salvaged from a set of toilet partitions     ;)
