A hone type of day...
Hello all,
RodB and Padre Obrien stopped over today.
Padre wanted to get a Thuringen hone and asked me if I had any I wanted to sell, so I dug out mine plus a few others for him to select from.......

It was probably 60 when we started at 1pm but dropped all afternoon, it's 45 now.
A really fun afternoon!! It's cool to see all those Thuringian/Eschers in one place!!!

Wow! Nice group of thuris! I'm at 1 atm...... They are getting dang expensive now. But like everyone else.... Always keeping an eye open for em. Tricky part is actually finding one that is actually a thuri..... Lots of fakes out there.... I don't have enough knowledge on what to look for. I bet yall had a blast today!
Is it over there or over yonder?

There are pics of coticules labeled Deep Rock and Old Rock. Are those brand names or a reference to a certain layer?
I have seen Old Rocks on eBay a couple of times and wondered if there was something different about them.

To the best of my knowledge the "Old Rock" was a specific mine/layer.

FWIW, the Salm Coticules are from a specific mine which is now flooded. There is a vid on Youtube showing some scuba divers swimming thru it.
Please note that those are not for sale.Leatherstockiings likes this.Randolph Tuttle, a SRP Mentor for residents of Minnesota & western Wisconsin

Sorry I couldn't make it today but didn't finish work till 11:00. Thanks for the invitation though and I really wish I could have come. Did Padre end up with a hone?
Since I'm still busy trying to make grinders to make razors, and fixing the tools needed to make the grinders to make the razors, and setting up a shop to fix the tools to make the grinders to make the razors, I still don't have a lot of free time despite drastically reduced work hours.
Anyway, since I'm short on time for honing, Padre would be welcome to borrow a few of my hones if there are any particular ones he might like to try.rolodave likes this.
