Thread: Charnley forest stone

Or farms ! ?
There are/were a number of nurseries (as in horticulture not children) around this area. They would have had huge greenhouses...

I bought this one with 2 others. It is a pretty hard stone, quite noisy but very smooth after I lapped it. It had been used as an oilstone and was heavily cupped. I have had quite a few guys asking to buy it so I'll be puting it on ebay for equal opportunities unless a Dutch friend of mine is gonna buy it.

Nice finds. That one looks like Olivias.

I think Jimmy is right l- it is not charnley forest stone (from the picture)

Sham do you have any idea what it could be instead?

Marcus, mine is the prettiest, hehehe

at first let me tell you this . i was talking about stone which is littlesilverbladefromwale put up the picture.
last stone on his picture don't like charnley. what is it i really don't know.never seen it before.
Let 's hope he will try and lets us know how it works.

Hi, it is almost the same as Olivias, maybe a tiny bit coarser.
When I held the stone side-by-side with Olivias, you could see they were related

I gave my DD Goldedge 50 laps on the C.F. hone as a final polishing after the coticule. It gave the edge a very smooth feel, less harsh feel.

I have had several mails and PMs from members asking to buy it. I did not know who to favour so I put it on ebay eventually.
