Thread: Dovo’s honing method

That was me Bill. Another issue with domed hones is how do you get the heel in contact with the hone? The toe too for that matter. I was looking at a video on another forum of a proponent using one of Jarrod’s hones. He was using a flat sliding stroke and the heel came off the hone almost immediately, and the toe never contacted the center of the hone until the last 1” or so of the stroke.

No wonder that it caused frowns, the only part getting honed is the middle. This is the image from post #2 - how can you not make a frown?
