One morning in November, Benson sat casually on a countertop in his workshop. Sun spilled through the big windows onto cups of brushes, rows of mallets and paper mock-ups of gravestone designs. Tabletop-sized pieces of slate leaned against wood beams. Hung on one wall of the meticulously organized workspace was a portrait of Benson’s grandfather, who revived techniques pioneered by Roman artisans around 2 A.D.
