Thread: wood worker, new to site, but not new to honing, any equipment I'm missing?

I recently started using a straight (Wand and Butcher chopper), a shapleigh Diamond Edge and an Ontario Cutlery. I started the hones on Norton Tri-Stone (not sure of the grits), went to a wet, slow speed 1000 grit wheel, then 1000/8000 Norton waterstone, then onto the granite surface plate with 15, 5, .5 micron wet polishing. I love shaving with the W&B, but the Shapleigh Diamond Edge sure sounds pretty when shaving.I have a couple of leather strops mounted on backer boards and recently refurbished a $3 antique store find strop.
