Thread: Zulu grey...first hone

I'm starting to get this dreaded feeling that I'm getting obsessed with honing though I haven't even gotten my Zulu yet. I'm afraid that after it arrives, I'll be wanting a whole setup and my bank account is losing sleep over that!

You wouldn't be the first. I checked my expenses and found I have spent much more on hones than on anything else, except, perhaps, restoration stuff.

Ahh dangit. Talked to Mike, my rock is still in Africa.

Now i'm thinkin' about trying a PHIG or WHIG for time killin'. We all know i'll have some of each before this is over.

It states on the web site 3 weeks (give or take). With the amount sold I would say longer should be expected. Remember they have to hike across the tundra to the quarry where the stone is cut out of the ground. Bring them all back stacked on their heads. Cut them in to sizes and polish. Wrap and then back on their heads to the nearest town which is not that close. All this with lions and tigers running around. :<0) Be patient I am sure they are going as fast as they can.

As I stated in a prior post, somewhere, I borrowed a Zulu from DoubleO for a few months, the stone is worth waiting for.
I ordered an 8x3 the day Michael did the discount. Fortunately , I have plenty of other hones to keep me busy till it gets here.

of course it does. That's why i waited nearly four weeks before making gentle inquiry as to progress. Nothing i understand more than a guy trying to do a little biz. I have no complaints atall.

Just got mine today. I didn't want open the packaging it looks so nice. The wait was a bit, about 2 months, I assume that had to do with the Christmas season. But, hey, you can't rush quality.

I'm wanting to adhere one my labels onto my wenge box, would poly be ok on the label?

Can you even imagine having to lap all those rocks ? :<0)
