Mmm, gonna to try with a little help from my friends

Picked up this paddle today, on one side it got leather as expected, but on the other, and what made it interesting, it got a hone glued to it.

Not the best shots, but I've tried to catch it dry, wet and with slurry.

Any information will be highly appreciated :)

I've seen thin slices of Schwedensteins and Thuringians glued to paddles with leather at the back. Because the texture looks pretty homogeneous I would expect it to be a Thuringian. If it is it should feel similar to the one you have.

I've just cleaned and carefully lapped it, and it looks a lot like the Thuri I have.

I have not tried to hone on it yet but from what I see so far it seems to be pretty similar.
