I'm not a pumice guy but have heard of a few people, well, one at least who did my entire red Latigo Best with a pumice. I heard it made a nice finish. The red latigo I use on my paddles is acually a stoned finish so results in an oil finished, ultra-suede feel.

While away this weekend I did see a really nice bench strop, 3" x 18" with what had to be pumiced or stones leather on it. The exaple I say was new old stock but damaged so I left it but will be making one up for myself to see how the ultra-suede type finish works.
