The horizontal lines are awesome. Did you keep a level in one hand and a trowel in the other? Or did you strike a few lines for reference?

hey lee,i trowel,texture, then mark all stonework out with a level and small trowel,then go back to start and carve out all joints and carve stones to off set each one etc., then back over again with texture again,and final soft brush down
