Please help ID two hones (one is a MONSTER)
Both purchased today. The bench hone is over one foot long, two inches thick, and 3 inches plus across. Any help on ID would be great! Thanks in advance.

Thanked: 4249I dont see any saw markings on the sides probably a man-made stone, looks a little rough in grit as well, couldnt be that good as it was obviously used as a coaster...
Mike compare it with the Droescher you got today as well.Last edited by Martin103; 01-30-2016 at 12:59 AM.

Thanked: 246I disagree, I think it is a natural stone. It appears as though there are straight saw marks on the sides as if sawed by a reciprocating gang saw, and the one end at least appears to have radial saw marks. My guess would be a sandstone but the pictures aren't the clearest when viewed on my phone.

Wait and see if Wolfpack knows.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
