    Thanks a million adrspach, I really appreciate all the help! I'll post more pictures of the sides/bottom when it's free.

    Last question, will my DMT be a good choice for lapping this stone? I've read many people using glass or granite with sandpaper to lap these finishing stones. Is that just so they get a good polish on them (i.e. higher than the 325 grit of the diamond plate)? What is your usual method for lapping natural finishers?

    I would not touch this hone with any DMT higher than 220. You risking that the hone will take your diamonds off.

    I have seen this happen with a Charnley, it is extremely funny as long as it is not your DMT.
