Laying up stone veneer to look authentic is a matter of, well, making it look authentic, which is done by choosing and using the veneer in a way that looks structurally appropriate.

The techniques are the same for block, poured concrete, or even a wood-frame wall, as Cody Macfie, Brevard, North Carolina, stonemason and freelance writer, demonstrates in this video.
