Thread: Revisiting the "Turkish oilstone" matter

I've got a turkey stone and was told to keep it wrapped in an olive oil soaked rag when storing it.
Mine doesn't have tags on it either, the tag(s) probably came off decades ago because of all of the oil.
No tags on the box either, just hand writing that says Turk.
It is a fast cutter with chunky grit. Definitely not for a razor or knife. I use it on my adz, froe, splitting wedges, and axes to for bevel resets. It is also good for sharpening shovels, hoes, and lawn mower blades.

Well, that last one above was a really soft stone that was easy to lap. This new monster took me 3 hrs with 120/220 sic on a granite tile. This is the color of this thing btw, it was in simple green a good long while. Need to fine tune the lap, but have high hopes for this one.

Hello dear community !!!
I came across such a Turkish stone, with the remnants of a label, if anyone has met this, share your photos, I will be very grateful. I would like to restore and save.
