    Nice find phrank.
    I'm guessing the whiter side be the Tam side?
    Read good things about that stone.
    Look forward to your findings as to where it fits in the spectrum.

    Yes, the one side is around 8k and the other at the finishing end, so it will be interesting to insert this stone starting at the 8k level and finish the progression on naturals.

    Finally dawned on me, Guelph, yup, that big world famous Veterinary University that's been there for decades, this stone was probably stored somewhere in the University and simply was never used, at least that's why I'm thinking.

    Big snowstorm today, already starting down here....sigh.

    Been reading, the WOA, is supposed to be a really beautiful finishing stone....I'll have to get some Sheffields ready for refresh.
