Stone selection
Each stone hand-picked off the pallet for face and corner. The corners were the priority. Clean returns mean the random coursing in between reads as deliberate.
A random-coursed sandstone base under a timber-clad upper level. Every stone hand-fitted, tight joints, no two faces the same.

Coursing the random
Random coursing only works if the courses themselves are level. Set a level course every metre, then fill between with the random fitting. Anyone who tells you it's all freehand hasn't done one.
