I just picked these 2 stones up at our local market, the 1st is I believe a natural combination coti/bbw, the bbw side is raw and with both of these needing a good clean and lap its hard to tell, from what I can tell whilst at work it raises slurry on both sides just as my beloved #10 combination does, so I am hoping that its what I think
It measures 170mm (6 3/4") long, 42mm (1 5/8") wide and 20mm (3/4") thick
The second stone is much smaller at 22 mm (7/8") wide, 90mm (3 1/2") long, and 16mm (5/8") thick
It has a little wooden tray to sit in, and 1 side is very smooth and pale the other feels slightly rougher and is a speckled brown in colour, again it needs some tlc, it too raises creamy slurry when I have rubbed it wet with Abrasive paper, (hey I am at work..lol)
Tomorrow is my day off, so I will give the big one some tlc, and try my third find, An Amore straight, on it to see how it goes.
Thanks for looking and any help would be gratefully received
Best regards
