functional issues of stonework

Trying to determine the right angle for cuts on the stones.  Too flat and they won't read like a flume.  Too steep and they won't provide a suitable surface for lounging upon.  After several modeling attempts, it seems like 30 degrees is just about right, striking a balance between the metaphoric, the esthetic and the functional aspects of the piece.  Desired scale and actual size of stones will depend upon budget realities.
