Thread: Charnley forest stone

Window caulk?? Is that the same as putty? for holding in the glass

Could that explain the original use? What sharp blade would a Glazier (spelling?) be sharpening all the time?????????????????

Anyone? Now this is interesting! What was the tool a Victorian Glazier had to keep very sharp? What tool could cause a large area of wear on a hard hone?

My point is -
If we knew the trade of the people who favoured certain types of hone, we might have a better idea about where to hunt them ie Coticule= lab equipment, Scottish hones = jewelers and watchmakers, Snowdonian Cutlers Green = cutlers/sheffield area ! Anyone near Sheffield 8>)
