Very nice. Natural combo?Picked this one. First pic when I started lapping, second is lapped and wet. It's pretty, that's all I can tell you about it.

Le petite Blanche. Sorry I think my phone auto corrected and I didn’t pay attention.Lpd?
No you can’t feel them at all. It feels like you’re honing on a piece of glass.Looks nice! Can you feel any of the lines while honing?
I knew you would bid on that once you saw it...I’m sure you all saw this one. The eBay pics made it look like it was falling apart, but the two open lines were much tighter than they looked. A little CA and lapping and it’s solid as a....rock and ready for action. View attachment 987873
Haha. I can’t resist those hard pale stones with manganese lines. They are almost always exceptional stones.I knew you would bid on that once you saw it...
It really does. It needs to be the super thin CA so it soaks down deep into the cracks and fills them in. Once it’s dried and lapped you literally can’t see it or feel it under the blade.Ca glue is like coticule duct tape, it fixes everything...
Yes, natural combo.Very nice. Natural combo?
