Thanked: 1587I'll keep it safe for you until such time as you feel comfortable using it. No, don't thank me. It is just part of the job.

Thanked: 480I'ma bringing lots of blades. Some for me, some for anybody that might want to practice on. As long as they have somewhat steady hands, I dont mind. (grinding the scales on the stone might have a deleterious effect on my mental health)
A few spare pucks of soap, a spare brush, a spare mug, a spare bottle of wine, spare cookies.., no, wait, those are mine...

I like cookies...
Sounds like you are coming well supplied. Be prepared to stay into the night :-)

Can you post some photos of the stone, especially the back side and the sides, also the stone dimensions? I have two Eschers and both have rough grind marks on the back side, and measure 5 X 2.5 X 3/4 inches. One came from an antique store with the label and is blue, the other one is greenish yellow and came in a lot of eBay hones, without a label. Both are easy to raise a slurry on, which is a creamy blue gray to blue green color. Congratulations on your great find! It is a Thuringian at least, and likely an Escher IMO.

I feel cheated. I clicked on this thread to see a hone not a damned label

Thanked: 480My restoration process will require a professional, as I am unskilled at such tasks. Unfortunately, I dont see anybody advertising this service in the classifieds.
I will try to get those pictures up later today though.
