IMG_0118.JPGUnknown Sharpening Stone465 views7x2x1 inch stone picked up at an estate sale. Thought it was a Crystolon (it was pretty dirty) but when I cleaned it up I saw by the striations in the stone it is natural. Seems fairly soft but fine, much like a Queer Creek. But here it is completely cleaned up and sitting on a new Queer Creek and it is clear it in not that. Also interesting how it was cut from the quarry perpendicular to the "layers". Kinda quarter sawn...
Does anybody know what kind of stone this is?

Mystery_Shave_1.JPGSpokeshave Comparison309 viewsHere's the shave compared to a type 1 151. The Mystery shave uses a tensioning screw in the top of the cap iron (which was missing), just like a #51 and a #151, but none of the 51 or 151 set screws I have fit - too big. A 6-32 tap will turn about 3 turns until it gets finger-tight, so it's close to that. 6-40 is too fine and barely turns in at all. The cap iron looks identical to a 51 or 151, however.TRexF16
