Lapping up my first 12k hone
Evening gents. Just finished lapping up a cnat 12k natural stone I picked up off eBay from Poland after reading up on the stones results from all the threads on here. Great info from engaged members that really helped, so cheers to all of you for that.
Took me over 6 hours between my lapping block, 240 grit sanding disk, and my1k king stone.
I lapped both faces and both long sides as well.
Really worried about the crevice or seam on what I expect to be the A surface, but by the time I was done it was almost invisible and can't be felt. The B side started to look feel really glassy and has those cool goldish looking areas so it may end up being the finer side, i have no idea if all that multi coloured area is a good thing or a bad thing on a natural stone. Will find out when I finish my first few blades and will advise.
cheers!
