different water stone I recently bought a water stone from Woodcraft. It's a Chinese water stone rather than a Japanese water stone. It's 8x2.75x1.25 in. Medium, gray in color & 1200 plus grit. A Japanese stone in this grit is a medium fine stone. This stone is somewhere between a hard Arkansas & a black Arkansas. Japanese stones are manmade. This is a" natural polishing stone quarried in the Guangxi province of China." Seems like a good finishing stone, so far. If anybody has any info on this type of stone, I would appreciate anything you can tell me. Really wasn't a bad buy at $30.00. |
