The 12,568th hone identification thread ;-)
Well, I've come across a sharpening stone and I'm not sure what it is. Any ideas? It has layering in it like a Hindostan but the color seems to be different than the Hindostan pictures I've seen. Could it be a Hindostan? It's sort of a grey color. I took pictures of it with a washita on top and a queer creek in the middle. Thanks!

Again a guess to direction to a Scotch Hone, was this bought in Uk/US?
The sidesticker reminds me just in colour of the ones used by Tam o Shanter and Water of Ayr Hone Works , but these were normally put on the side of the packaging...
But i see there is a writing...The Woo..
The lines again remind me on a DB Dalmore Blue stone...the layers seems to huge and not constant compared to a Hindo...also the colour doesnt fit (that could also be the camera + light which was used, so daylight shots would be appreciated)...
I think the Dalmore is more grayish sometimes into brown....the Hindostan mosly yellow, light yellow, yellow brown....
How does it perform...?

Definitely not any form of The Water of Ayr & Tam O'shanter Hone Works label:

Could be some sort of a DB though, although one is used to seeing shear marks well defined in the layers of most. The coarser variety have ill-defined layering though, some to the point of amost being a solid drab colour, so it could veer towards the rough end of DBs, though it doesn't really look like one to me.

I did not mean the ones on the Top, thats clear that these have a total different looking... there was a Sidelabel in red within the ToS Stones with Size and TOS or F. TOS for finer Stones or very fine stones...in knowing this it could be that the Hone Works also used this for a DB.....thats why i wrote the sidelabel reminds me on this just by the colour...and this label was not on the stone itself....
i checked again, and yes they used it also for the DB but in white colour.....so this direction was wrong
