Ok an update to how the stone works for me.
Maksim, when he tried his CF, mentioned that the stone works well with tmonagura, so I tried the method on mine.
I took a Fridour to the slurry and did ~60 circles each way , I go by eye so until the slurry darkened.
After that I diluted with water a few times doing sets of 10 x strokes, then finished on water with a hint of dish soap.
Stropped on leather and got a great edge, very sharp and very smooth. Actually sharper than what I am comfortable with so I did 7 passes on CrO ,which took off some of the bite. The stone will need more evaluation of course , with other grinds and steels , but I like the results so far.
