    What's this, some sort of game?

    Which sins couldn't be linked to posting pictures like this? Avaritia, invidia, hubris or superbia, vanagloria and even ira easily can if one isn't careful. Oftentimes they encourage hoarding, incite fads and not infrequently they drive up prices as well.

    That said, here are a few hones of mine. The collection varies; some were given away or swapped, new ones were acquired. This picture represents a cross-section of types to which people at these premises refer as Charnley Forests. (If this wording leads people to believe I have reason to doubt the correctness of that attribution in various cases they are not mistaken.) Some featured here and here before. In both threads close-up pictures of CF hones can be found, and Neil Miller posted some interesting links to literature in post 16 and 17 of the latter. If particulars or close-up pictures of any of the honing stones are desired, don't hesitate to ask.

    Hmm nice collection. I think I will bother you for some close ups.
    Now how you can beat it? What about this picture.
    Before you get scared do not worry this one did not produce high quality ones and there is no useful debree left. However look at that big slab in the back middle.

    Oldengaerde, I have doubts on some of those stones or maybe I just want to see them upclose. I do see one slate between them.

    Instances of people categorizing variations of slate as CF do exist, but no, no slate in that picture.

    So-called Charnley Forest top 4th
    Charnley Forest top 5th (= this and this.)
    So-called Charnley Forest bottom 6th
