Thread: won a few hones

at an auction house today don't know much about them except the price was right on. I was bidding over the phone on the lot. No I just need to send them to Holli for testing, actually I have to go to Buffalo next week might drop them by. If anyone knows what type of hone any of them are that information would be very appreciated.

Hard to tell from the picture, also I have almost no experience but I would be interested in seeing what they turn out to be. I have high expectations for the top middle, top right, and second to top right. Looks like a good score that will provide plenty of work to sort out.

I agree with the ones you pointed out will just have to wait for the mail. I think the ones on the left may be man-made who knows

top right corner could be Charnley, if you could post a close up of it it will be easier to tell.

I will as soon ad I get them in the mail

Ugh... if we're going to lap them here I'll have to get a DMTXXC, or maybe a few sanding belts we can burn through.

Really think it will be that hard, I have the new dmt 325 and laping grits 90,180,220,400,600 and a glass plate

Grits on plates should be good. You never know what you'll get, but I have some "oilstones" that are hard as nails and also quite dished. It really can be a nightmare, and that is a lot of stones; hence a lot of potential problems. It should be a fun afternoon, to say the least. I have a feeling one of us will work on the lapping while another works on something else. My workshop will be at your disposal.
