Hang around, and there will probably be a meetup in the near future.

Yup, Im in the Dapper-thread already. And, just to clarify at once, its stone, not wind :P

You are the one snatching all the straights at Viklund Brukthandel at Bislett?

Hmm, then there is another collector/restorer at work. He told me one came and picked up 10 or so he had lying, and came back with pictures after restoring them. Didnt know there were so many collecting in Oslo.

After 5-6 days spent looking I got a small collection. 8 now I think, and Bjørnar set up two of them. They are all the same tho. Hollow, 4/8 or 5/8. Doesnt seem it is as easy to find wedges or larger ones around.

Velkommen Øystein! Another Norwegian newbie here

That is indeed true.
Finding anything larger than a 6/8 sure is rare around here.
Heck, even 6/8 is difficult enough.
Wedgier grinds should be possible though, depending on the age on it.
The older they are, the more often they tend to have more meat on the bone so to speak.
