Thread: charnley forest

Now I'm really confused - Ian at B&B says (over there) that it is the thuringian he sold you???

You still haven't said how easy it was to lap.

not got that yet mate

will compare though to lap it was quite hard and the slurry was real sticky like cream
i used a dmt 325 to lap it

If you bought it from Ian as a Thuringian, I can't for the life of me fathom why you think it is a Charnley... or why, after asking for us to identify it you won't accept the fact that we all think it is a Thuringian...

Let's get this straight I have bought a stone off Ian but I have not got this yet I bought this cf gobetween because the person had one cheap so I got it but I want to confirm

OK - that's clear enough for me! It was just Ian saying "...oh that's the thuri I sold you..." or words to that effect that threw me.

I think what you have to do is take that stone outside and get a good, crisp picture of it in normal daylight, so we can see what colour it really is. Also take some pics of the sides and ends well-lit. I thought I could just see some fissures and lamination lines in some of your recent pics, but couldn't be sure.

When you say it was quite hard to lap, have you ever lapped a CF before to compare it to? If it needed any significant lapping we are talking about hours of hard slog.

Only lapped a nani and they are soft this stone did have a defect in the centre which too a few hours to do on a 325 dmt I will get some shots outside ok thanks

I would like to see pics taken outside w/ light illuminating it too. Anyone ever see the movie 2001 w/ the monolith? Thats what a pic will look like of a darker stone taken indoors :-(
