    I don't have a Yellow Lake in my collection. I'd love to have a chance to buy one or, failing that, a really good photo of one.

    Hmm...i just recently aquired an 8x2x1 'Genuine Yellow Lake Oilstone." It is quite dark and shows alot of intial promise as a finisher...it reminds me a great deal of my vintage dark blue Thuringian.
    I will test it against my other finishers, this weekend...wish me luck. He, he...

    Mac you are my hero. Now if you can just find a Devonshire Oil stone.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    My Yellow Lake stone turned out to be slightly finer than a DT, so maybe comparable to 8-9K grit.

    Sunday another Yellow Lake stone went for 15 GBP at Ebay.
