    Default Slurry stone

    I bought this porous naguwa from Woodcraft. It seams to crumble (like a pumice stone) and leaves gouges in my hones. What am I doing wrong?Name:  uploadfromtaptalk1433519339890.jpg

    Paying for it! The only one they have that is any use is the King/Ice Bear solid one and only up to about 4K stones.

    It almost looks like a volcanic rock like Tufa or similar. Is it light? All those holes would be from the gas in the rock as it cools if that is what it is.

    I finally find it....
    Link: http://m.woodcraft.com/aHR0cDovL3d3d...V4MjVtbS5hc3B4

    Update;
    I returned it to woodcraft. This time they suggested a 2"X3" credit card sized diamond plate (approx 600 mesh). It works much better. However it leaves a pebble feeling on the hone ( not as smooth as 220 wet dry) after use. Is this normal?
    I never thought finding a slurry stone would be this difficult?

    The diamond is a good choice! Glue a little block to the top to make control easier. It does not require pressure to work well!
    Here is the one purchased stone i use a lot:
    nagura-stone
    I also use a little Translucent Arkansas pocket stone that I found for a cleaner/ slurry stone.

    I don't know what stone you're using it on (the diamond hone), but if the stone is coarse enough to feel the razor honing on it, then the diamond hone is going to wake it up and make it feel more aggressive than using nothing at all.

    I'd assume that the porous nagura they're selling is a rub stone and not a nagura (intended to clean a stone, not make a slurry).

    I am not aware of any synthetic naguras that are actually very fine. If you want one that is very fine, you'll have to find an inexpensive fine stone and cut it.
