Claim:
A method of forming a rail fence of granite including: shaping by cutting and chipping a plurality of granite pieces to form granite blocks of a first size and second and largest size and granite rails of a desired height and thickness to have planar upper and lower surfaces and chipped side surfaces; forming a plurality of laterally spaced fence posts of said granite blocks of said first and second sizes by stacking selected of said blocks with said planar surfaces of adjacent of said blocks in full contact with each other and positioning at least certain of said chipped surfaces in outwardly facing directions; arranging said stacked blocks to form vertically spaced slots having planar lower surfaces by positioning two of said first size blocks between two of said second size blocks; and positioning opposing ends of said rails in said slots of adjacent of said fence posts with said planar surfaces of said rails in engagement with said planar surfaces of said slots and said chipped surfaces of said rails facing outward to form said rail fence with said rails extending substantially horizontally.
