Thanked: 16 Turkey oilstone.
Hello from a newbie,
I am a hone collector and user and have been following these forums with interest. I wanted to contribute my 25cents worth, so I became a member. I hope my posts are of use to others.
I came across a garage sale a while back, a old fella was selling his prized tool kit he collected over a life time. I seen this curious slipstone and asked the old fella about it. He said it's an old "Turkey" he has had for a long time. I've read about these stones but have never seen one, so I bought it for it's price of $2. Here are some pics.Stone is coated with WD40.Last edited by Stoned; 06-21-2009 at 09:06 AM. Reason: more info

Thanked: 16 Turkey oilstone.
When I was going thru some unidentified sharpening stones/hones I found a similar stone to the one above. I think it was a 8"(20cm) stone which broke to 5"(12.5cm) The last two have a coat of WD40. (The pinkish colour on the bottom of the stone (4th pic) is the reflection of my hands).

Welcome to SRP, Stoned!
Those are great finds!
Please tell us about your experiences with these hones.
Do you sharpen razors?

These stones give fine edges then I use a charged leather strop to finish.

The surface mottling of that stone is quite distinctive. I'm going to look through my collection as it looks familiar. I was reading a book recently that said they used oil on the hones as it made them harder.
