    Default Cutting a Thuri

    Here’s on I’ve been stressing about for awhile now. I need two 2.5 in slurry stones to complete two Escher sets - barber’s gem size. Because they are extra select quality, I didn’t want to degrade the slurry quality with lesser slurry stones.

    I had great results making slurry with a 5 x 1 branded thuri in two-tone. So I decided to cut it in half, effectively giving me two $40 slurry stones.

    I have no experience with this, but read everything I could find on the subject.

    So, I made a jig for my coping saw. I pre-cut the wood to guide my saw. The saw blade is nothing special, and is the same one I use for wood and acrylic scales.

    Then, it was quite easy. Took maybe 4 minutes of gentle sawing. The 1st picture below is before sawing.
