Regarding the raw rock, I'll bring some when next I'll be near the quarry. At the moment, I have no raw rock left to be honest.

I don't know how you could resist testing it! I would have had to do it immediately! If you do pick up some more raw stone I would love to get some, just let me know and we can work something out!

Norton 1, 4, 8K - where it all started...
Shapton Glass 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 16, 30 - the 1, 4 and 8 are my work horses
8 very rare vintage JNats some mounted some not - all the best finishers I own
Escher - so so
2 modern coticules - both suck
Zulu Grey - nice
SG 20K - nice but synthetic feeling
Apache Strata (red) - nice
Naniwa 12K
set of 3 tomo nagura

some I'm sure I've forgotten...

Yikes.

Too many, and yet too few....

A chronic lack of time!

A blessing to be busy. A crying shame that you dont have time to try out your discovery and hard work. It would be similar to saying I am so busy that I must use a disposable razor, it is just wrong. Perhaps soon you will find the Time . Great looking rock.

Here is my meager setup. I love it but bad thing is I still want more.
