Why? You don't mind modern glues?
bubby:
If you think about it using slabs is less wasteful, economical and makes hard to get rock sustainable, it's a win win
JackCrafty:
The smaller the slab, the better I like it. Material is not saved when I get my hands on a large one: I often end up with two smaller slabs... and then I feel better. :)

The best I have worked were from my
6' by 5/8 th inch glass patio table top that blew over
and shattered into huge slabs.

Not quite the same thing. You need glue to hold 2 pieces of wood together, not so with stone :) .
