Thread: CHARNLEY FOREST STONE

Yes it showed all marks of CF. However it was stangelu shaped. The tops side was shorter than stone itself. I was thinking to buy it and cut it for slurry stones for my hone and others which i will be selling soon.
As for original question. My stones range from £25 to £160. Realy type and size matters.
BTW there are 2 more on the auction site at present.

The one PuFFah mentions ended before the initial post was made. My supposition was Importcarguy meant this one. Had it on my list as well, hoping it might go unnoticed like the other one seemed to have gone.

I agree with Adrspach that prices vary a lot. CFs can be had for a few tenners, but advertised as CF among SR fans they sometimes fetch 200 USD as easily

Yep. The people in UK, must love us razor dudes.

Same as you love us with Sheffield originated big blades which are imposible to get over here.

I was thinking of cutting an inch off of the end of mine and using it as a slurry stone. So far I've resisted the temptation and I just use a credit card sized DMT 325 to make slurry. I'll probably leave mine as is since the DMT is satisfactory. If someone cut one up for slurry stones I would certainly buy one.

I am considering doing the same thing, since i have two...like you, im just not quite willing to take the leap. I was thinking it would be nice to cut, shape and set one up in a box, similar to how ya see the vintage eschers.

Additionally, ive been considering cutting the spare Charnley to a 0.5 inch thickness and glueing it to an Arkansas Surgical Black or Translucent as a double sided stone...that way i would get two out of the one. They do work quite well as a progression.
Feel free to tell me im nuts and to stop this nonsense anytime...

Thanks,

Mac

I am thinking to do that. At present I am chosing which one to chop. Send me PM if you are interested. I would only split the cost plus postage. So far it would be four of us.

Mac, yes you are and I want to see it and then I probably want to have it.
Raising hones to gem level, hehehe
