Thank you sir. That was the first stone I purchased from Alex. Just HAD to have it. It gets some use now as it covers a wide range, the heft makes it a nice hand holder hone stone. Does that sound weird?


Water based varnish works well and is non toxic.


Clean and dry stone prior to sealing. Mask off area to protect and create straight edge.


Besides protecting the sides of the stone, tissue or mesh can be laminated onto stone surface to reinforce cracks or fragile areas.
