# MASONRY Bold and Beautiful
# New Saws for Changing Needs
Masonry saws are among the most essential and often-used tools in a mason contractor's arsenal. Although the basic design of masonry saws and handhelds has not changed much over the year's, manufacturers continue to innovate in many ways. Masonry looks at the newest products and technologies.
Shown on the cover is Ellermann Courtyard, a participant in the MCAA's 2007 International Excellence in Masonry Awards competition. The mason contractor was Spencer Brickwork, and the architect was Dick Busch.
