ITEM DESCRIPTION


Vintage tools - sharpening stone D156

Up for sale is a genuine Antique Natural CHARNLEY FOREST / Charnwood SHARPENING STONE from England, this one is a little unusual being a BLACK CHARNLEY.

The stone is 232mm long, 39mm wide & 40mm thick, an older stone & hand cut most likely by an itinerant stone seller back in the 19th century, with a cool user made box fashioned out of Beech.

Great for chisels, plane blades, knives & your straight razors, its a finishing stone & it puts a superlative edge on tools, I use a Charnley Forest stone if I want to take my chisels or plane blades to the "next level" after sharpening on a Washita, these are superfine & finer than a hard Arkansas in my opinion. It's a light green with the typical red veining through the stone.

Weight - 1.8kg
