Man, Thuringians have been getting a lot of love around here lately. From Eschers and Droeschers to Echters and various other unlabeled Thuris, people have been talking about them. Well, count me in. A couple of weeks ago, I received a candy-bar-sized "possible Thuringian" from AJ on the 'Bay, and have really been impressed by the smoothness of both the stone and the edges it produces. I ordered one of the Thuringians with slurry stone and wooden box that TimberTools sells (not one of their Original Eschers) and received it today. The surface of the stone itself isn't as smooth as the smaller vintage Thuri, but the edges it creates seem to be just as good. I'm happy!
