All the text on that page is displaying as question marks on my browser (????????)
I can see the pictures though, and they look nice.
Well;
Mine arrived literally just as I needed to leave for the weekend. I had time to unwrap them and put them away.
Pics to come and I will let everyone know how they work for me. Unfortunately one of the stones (the softer) must be lapped on the top surface which will destroy the stamps.
Jimbo;
I'm with you, but the rear surface on one of the stones is really rugged...no possibility it could be lapped.
While I have some confidence; it may be a stone that eventually breaks on it's many seams...we shall see.
Thanks.
