    A few new homes for my Norton’s, a salesman sample and a razor hone. Tried to copy the larger by pictures of the original. If I ever find what the rub stone is, it will drop rite in. Used the drop of the glued bookmatch stock to make the smaller hone box so all matches. Used some dark stain to get the grain to pop

    Good job. I can hardly wait to get back to some sawdust again.

    I few wild found stones that are worthy of a home. I also got the wood, that I think is a type of cedar but has no aromatic characteristics, from the flea market. Split on a bandsaw and ripped into all the pieces. A wipe of golden stain to finish

    A odd shaped coticule needs a odd shaped home. The coticule is dated 1794 and in a shape that was common in that time period. I feel it’s fragile and don’t plan on lapping or using. It will live as a cabinet queen

    It may have been shaped to hone wedges.

    A deep dish on the surface will easily take the place of tape on a heavy wedge. I am also going to try a Sheffield smile on the pointy end. The point might take the place of a rolling stroke on a flat hone

    SWMBO thought I was nuts. While shopping at a local Goodwill, I purchased a piece of furniture to harvest some of its parts. Not knowing what I am up to “How or you getting that home” see asks as a start to break in up in the parking lot. A few pieces went into the trunk, most went into the dumpster. One of the pieces that I took home is what I made this box out of. I sliced and diced a highly figured slab of walnut into all the parts. A big hunk of Butterscotch Novaculite needed a special hone and the wood delivered

    This thread makes me want to relearn my woodworking skill I had, from my early years. A small home based woodworking shop is in my plans, in about 3-4 years. First, I have to build the house for it.
