After selecting the top and side cuts, there are several additional options you can select as accents. The two top corners are often cut with a round, chamfer, Scotia, ogee, rabbet, check, or a simple mar-gin accent. These options look very attractive when combined with a straight polished top. All accents are sized according to the dimensions of the monument.
