Is this the same Turkey oil stone that was at Mid-Mo? If so it is the one hone I had intended to handle but neglected to.

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.

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?

Great, yet another super rare stone I will likely never get my envious hands on. :rant:
Sham, I am going to hire a private investigator to follow you around and take notes on your razor and hone acquisition habits... You come up with the most unusual things.

Welcome to SRP and thanks for the photos. The fabled Turkey is a rare one AFAIK. The only member I know of who has been lucky enough to find any is hi_bud. Let us know if yours lives up to it's reputation.
