Thread: is this a charnely forest hone?!

Hardness will make you think about Turkey oils stone.
This stone is too thin to be a Turkey oil stone.
As i mention in my first post it is not CF.
Now you mention it is hard to lap . this puts out option thuringian or escher stones.
Lastly it could be some unknow to us stone.
The best way to handle your situation is test the stone see what happens.
hope this helps.

its really hard and i used plenty of wet and dry lapping it, probably 6 sheets at least and i worked each one til they were really dead

and the search continues but thanks for all the good info so far everyone, very helpful!

looking at that picture of the turkey oil stone and reading the information, it sounds very very like it in terms of slurry and the look of the stone.

i dont think ill ever get to the bottom of it really but i think from what ive read and seen, a turkey oil stone is what im going for!

Don't despair. One of the Razorcons is a great oportunity to show it to people in flesh and it is best way how to recognise it.

Congrats on a great looking stone. I can only hope that it is a CF for your sake. Perhaps it wil turn out to be a valuable stone afterall. The best thing to do it hone with it and see what kind of edge it giives you. Good luck!
