From the responses so far, I apparently didn't explain myself correctly...

I have seen at least a dozen different threads from people asking how to fit Natural stones together into a progression for honing....I think it would be a wonderful thing to have a list to go from, and I also would like to know the same thing....BUT, instead of me asking lots of stupid questions that would be extremely hard to follow for the next person who wants to know the same thing, I thought having some type of comparison would be more helpful in the long run.

I am completely open to suggestions on how to put the chart together, but for the sake of starting the process rolling, I posted my idea first...I think this list is a doable thing, and I like your idea, how about maybe making say 6 categories?

Extra Coarse (Probably too coarse for Razors)
Coarse (The beginning stage for Razors)
Medium (Comparable to something like a King 1200)
Fine (Somewhere around the Norton 4000)
Very Fine (Maybe like the Norton 8000)
Polishing (Just for final finishing of the edge)

Does this sound like a more practical way to go at this? ...if not, make a suggestion!

You are absolutely correct!

I know Bubkis about Japanese Naturals, but that is not to say I don't want to, just that if I don't get much help on this here, I'll probably pursue this on my own as I acquire more hones....But I have vowed to stay clear of the Japanese naturals until I have a complete set of the rest of the world's hones!
