Thread: Thuringian – Blue Belgian Whetstone combination Hone

I got quite a lot of thin thuringian whetstone plates, so I thought of how to create a reasonable combination hone with a good backing to supplement the Thuringian endfinisher.
When I met Maurice at Ardennes last month, we spoke about that and what we can use for the backside. I was hoping to get some Lorraine for the backing but at the moment there is no Lorraine to be mined at the Ol’Preu quarry. Maurice is exploring the Regné quarry right now, but it will take some time before he can start regular mining there. Focus will then be – beside the known Coticule veins (and some new ones like the Myrtilles he has already introduced) also the Lorraine stones.

However, for our first Belgian/German joint project we decide to glue the Thuri to a BBW.
Here is how it looks like:



The result is a nearly 10 x 2 ‘’ - light green Thuringian hone on BBW.
