    Woah. I think I'd opt for the brick!
    No joke, though, when I was in Savannah, they had houses with gray bricks that looked somewhat like that.

    Ooh ooh and don't forget to hone the edge on to the roughest bit. But in all seriousness, what does it feel like, it looks rough from the photo, is it actually smooth?
