Stone Masonry Resources:
These are some of my suggested stone masonry resources. They are the books, magazines, videos, and organizations I find the most helpful in learning about stone masonry.
Books are listed by author and title with a link to them on Amazon. The manual Dry Stone Walling: A Practical Handbook is available in the U.S. from The Stone Trust. It is also available in Europe from the Dry Stone Walling Association.
A stonemasonry magazine I suggest is Stonexus.
DVD’s are listed by title with a link to their North American format site. Other formats are available in England from the Dry Stone Walling Association.
My videos are linked to the Drystone Joe YouTube channel.
Stone masonry organizations are listed by their name with their website link.
