"filling between the rocks" has a technical masonary term called pointing. It may come from using the point on a trowel. Maybe I've been watching too much discover channel.

Thanks and the store is opening on Tuesday and the project stopped at where you see the pictures. The cabintry guy had to place an order for wook and is not coming in untill Tuesday (same day store opens).
What color finish on the wood is next step and suggestions are welcome.

Well since you asked... I think Minwax special Walnut would compliment the rock work well. Whatever you decide on, try it on one of the inside panels that's not normally visable to see how it looks on the wood you chose. What you see on the can is not always how the final product will look. Especially if you use a different wood than what's on the sample.

If your using Oak I like the Minwax Honey Maple Gel Stain. I also use the Minwax Hellmans weather/water proof glossy poly.

Here is a pic of the combination
