Thread: Tragedy!

I was working around in my workshop a little bit this morning, just cleaning up and applying another coat of tung oil to some scales I have waiting on blades in the tumbler. By the way, this restoration thing is highly addictive. my pant leg caught on a piece of sheet metal and brought it tumbling down. Unfortunately on that same piece of metal were my DMT plates and my barber's hone. of course the DMTs are fine, but the barber's is now split in half. And I never even actually took the time to figure out what type of barber's it was. Or, truth told, if it was a true barber's or something different. It does, or did before it lost a good 2.5 inches of the 6.75" length, give a very nice finish after my 8k DMT though. It is double sided, with the rougher being a reddish-brown maybe (color-blind, give me a break) and the smoother being grey with lighter, possibly peach, flecks in it.

I suppose I can still use the longer half after rounding the edge clean, but it just will not be the same.

As an aside and because I had not asked it previously, anyone have any idea what type of stone it might be so that I can look for a replacement?
