Hope I don't screw this up...
I am not a master at anything (except quantitative hydro geology...or so my degree says) but I like trying a lot of things.
I really dove in this time. This cost me a few bucks and I hope to not screw it up.

That is a sexy looking hone. Any ballpark on estimate "grit"? What is it made of?

Nice looking block of wood. I hope you don't screw it up either considering they are not exactly cheap. Be sure and show us the end result when finished. Where did you source that from?

That's a nice bit of wood. Where does one buy such a thing?

Should make seriously eye catching scales. I can't wait to see the finished product!
