    Hello, i see you joined in Jan. I am sure you picked up on some of the etiquette here? If you would like some help then you need to give as much detail as possible. A far pic on a stone does not provide much information with the caption "ID Hone Needed"... Tell us where you got it? Get close up shots after you clean it, with and without slurry. Does it feel gritty, or fine? Glassy?

    Right now i can tell you it is a rock on a board... Black rock... Old board..

    It's all good. Thanks for mot taking offense to my well intentioned ribbing. Can you get a close up of the slurry?

    Is it soft or hard? does it have oil on it? smells like oil? slurry color?close up of the stone itself? did you lap it? Dimensions?

    Sorry for the slow response, it procuces a nice creamy off white/brown slurry, no oil smell just earthy. I have gotten other responses from other sites that it may be a Charney Forrest hone, never heard of it, thanks.

    I very much doubt that this stone is a Charnley Forrest since they are usually green with other colors and use with oil,
    and must be very very hard to produce slurry since they are a very hard stone.

    This photo is not very good, the stone is greenish in color but not hard to produce a slurry and I have not used oil. thanks. The stone has real fine reddish streaks.
