Thread: jnats glued to wood base

One of the subjects that has been discussed over the years is how to remove a natural stone from the wood base to which it has been glued. Quite a few years ago I bought a great Nakayama Maruichi Asagi from Old_School and it was glued to a somewhat unattractive wood base.

I have often thought of removing the stone from this base and glueing it to a more attractive piece of wood. I finally worked up the nerve to disturb this wonderful stone and remove the unattractive wood and I think it was member "nipper" who was kind enough to provide me with three beautiful mahogany wood bases to remount my jnats. This required me to select an oven heat setting that would break the bond of the stone to the wood but not break the stone itself. Very anxietous undertaking when you consider the price of the stone.

Attached is a photo of the Nakayama and when I get time, I will remount my Ozuku Sunashi Suita and an unidentified jnat finisher I got from Sham. All three stones are quality stones.
