Yes, I do. I keep it in my summer home in Tuscany, on my Italian Marble counter.

That would be the one. Actually, I have a friend here in Jacksonville Fl. (not many since I'm not from here) that does Marble, Granite etc...he always has large scrap pieces. I'm betting that could be easily made. One large scrap piece and carbide or diamond tipped end mill.
I wonder if Marble or Granite can be cut with a CNC? I'm thinking Yes...Last edited by zib; 10-01-2011 at 05:03 PM.

If you can get one made up for a realistic price, why not! I would look awesome with a stone on it! Originally Posted by zib

The hollowing would probably be CNC-based. I know from experience that it can take several hours to cut grooves into a medium hard steel.
I wonder how long it would take to cut the hollow into marble or granite?!

Well, there are ways to injection mold pulverized stone with epoxy resins.
That may be the case here,just a possibilty.

Really cool idea! It certainly would help with keeping control of all the slurry swarf mess. I don't have the $400 but I do have a stack of 1/4" & 1/2 " thick acrylic. Hmmmm......my project for the day? But, to be honest, what I have found to be very useful is using a 2" thick Aoto or similar stone as a honing base for my stones. It lifts them up high enough that my knuckles don't drag on the table top. So, I would have to incorporate the 2" high pieces into the base.

At the professional honing places I've been to, almost everyone has the same setup: a big water tank or sink with a wooden board set over the top. The board usually has two crosspieces to hold a stone in place. Originally Posted by randydance062449

and I have a board like that you can see and read about on my blog.
