    Jim: I... Totally forgot what I was going to ask you.
    Oh. Have you tried the three stone round robin flattening trick? And, if a beginner (like me) brought you a stone with mild dishing and minor scratches, how would you flatten it for them?
    Well, to begin with I'd use a 400 diamond plate to flatten, then I'd polish on 1000 diamond, then 2000 grit on a polished granite tile, then finish on another finishing stone.

    If it was only scratched, I'd leave it.
