Charnley forest find

**gregs656** · 01-11-2010, 02:20 PM

Picked one up today, quite a small one but it still had the stamp on the back, though all I can make out from it is 'CHARNLEY FOREST OILSTONE'.

I will get some pics later, if any one is interested. I don't know whether to keep this one or my first one. This one is a more olive green, my first one is a more grey-green.

How small is small. And stamp. Hmm you got me interested. Can we see pictures please?

Wow! Great find!

Any pics? What grit are the Charnleys? Apparently they make killer finishers..!

Cool find...ive not seen one with a stamp. Looking forward to the pics.

Many thanks,

Mac

High, very high. They do indeed make killer finishers, they take all the harshness out of an edge, it's quite amazing. I've been told they rival just about anything else.

Size wise, it's aprox 1 2/3" by just over 8". So not that small, in fact it's about the same size as my other one, just looks smaller because of the box I think.

The pictures aren't great, but you can just about make out 'CHARNLEY FOREST OIL STONE'

very nice stone congratulations.

Great stone. Learning again. What is the name of the quarry is on the stamp?

**gregs656** · 01-11-2010, 05:59 PM

I can't make it out sorry

Damn this is a tough choice!

**khaos** · 01-11-2010, 07:11 PM

where did you find it? did you buy it in person or gamble on an ebay "stone in a box"? Just curious

**gregs656** · 01-11-2010, 07:23 PM

Bought it in person. I was quite chuffed when I spotted the stamp.
