Thread: Llyn Melynllyn Welsh Stone

I decided to try a vintage Llyn Melynllyn Welsh Stone; the highly respected seller feels that this stone is a 4k with heavy slurry, 8k with light slurry or clear water and even finer with oil. I got the impression that after a bevel set with the 1k, I might be able to go from the 4k all the way to the finished product with this one stone.

It came with a nice mahogany box. I ran a hone over it just to check out the feel. Very nice to the touch. To look at this stone and its slurry most would think it is a BBW but I have been assured that it is not.


If anyone has any useful tips on how best to use this Llyn Melynllyn, (aka Yellow Lake ), I would appreciate it since this is my first time with this stone. Thanks.....
