Celebrated Water Razor Hone!
Hey all,
So last week I bought a nice vintage thuringian escher type stone from hi_bud_gl here. Well it arrived today, and I love it!! The stone is about 6" x 1 1/8". It's a nice yellow/green colour on the honing surface, and more of a blue/green on the label side! The label was half off, and I thought I would try to remove it, but the problem was the other half was FIRMY on the stone! So I decided to just leave it on. Also seeing that I have absolutely no intention of ever selling it, I lacquered over the label with nail polish. It completely water proofed it (I added a lot of layers), and I lapped it under a continuous stream of water without any further damage to the label.
I don't know if you can see in the second picture (on the lower left), but it looks like a seam in the rock where different colours meet. The last picture is of the end, where the joining of the two colours in the stone are apparent.
Anyways, just wanted to share my new acquisition with you all!
Dave
