Thread: Flattening an Arkansas stone

It isn't quite orange. Like Olivia said, it looks like candy fudge.

I call it my butterscotch hone.

Hey GreatWhite...
Nope...that much lapping would probably kill my diamond plates. I think im going to cut the dish off, when i get to cutting the Jasper stones ive recently got.
Thats a fun stone too, btw.

Thanks,

Mac

I had what I believe was a stone of identical material. It was thin, 2" x 5" glued to a holder and deeply gouged as if by a wood carver. It was before I had acquired a diamond plate and it destroyed numerous abrasive belts before I gave up. It was so congruious and glass like, I suspected it was man made and dumped it. Very odd material and certainly as fine or finer than any Arkansas.
