    Default BBW/Coti and a?

    Picked up these today, the coti is getting a bit thin in places but it's backed on to a BBW, so still plenty of use if you got it out the box. That will be sold (shoot me a PM if you want it).

    What's the other one though? The pictures aren't great, I'll get some better ones if they're required.





    Actually, those pictures are absolutely useless lol.

    They are a little hazy! What about a Charnley Forest? Looks like there may be some red veining, which was my only clue. Did they come from within the UK?

    If it is an olive green with figure here and there and maybe some black specks it could be a CF. Sometimes the photos don't show the color accurately.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    These pictures are better, a CF would be pretty good right?





    the coti/bbw is 1 5/8*8" and the other one tapers but about 1.5*9"

    It's tough by the way, harder than the coti.

    It would be good, indeed, depending on what you paid. It does look as though it could be. It'll be clearer once you've lapped it.

    A task I'm not particularly looking forward to, if I'm honest.

    You should! I would; it's very rewarding to find out and old hone's true colours (pun intended)! There is happiness in restoring it to former glory, attaining a fresh immaculate surface and be the first to hone on it in years or even decades.





    And if poetic sentiments can't convince you, prozaic counting may: lapped and unambiguously named you could sell it for more.

    O, I will do it, I've started. It's just a bit boring you know?

    I would say it's a bluey green.

    The coti is going, I think I will keep this one for now.

    The adhortation was directed not so much at the action, but at the attitude towards it.


    Bluey green could well be CF (here a few shades). The streaks of red remain, or were they grime?

    Looking forward to the pictures!

    The red remains. Looking at those pictures, it certainly looks like a CF.

    Good stuff, they make a good polisher no?
