First off why do you need a plank of teak that large for honing? Second, PM me if you want some teak I will be downsizing the back stock soon.

@Zib: what are those pads from and where can I get some?

BTW for coticule, BBW and spyderco I hand hold. For DMT and naniwa I set on a towel on a textured tv tray, this is a rare item; a tv tray that is stable, well built and large.
