I asked about a stone and John replied: (my original description)> It
was originally white, but now is a light brown, which is the color> of
the little tin of Buck honing oil I used on it. Could this be a
translucent white hard Arkansas stone with a ledge cut around it to
catch the oil or possibly to be a way to hold the stone on a base? Have
you ever compared it with a "translucent white hard Arkansas stone"?
These are nearly mystical. They even LOOK mystical. They polish the edge
more than anything else - I cannot say that they really form an edge,
they are too hard. Have you contacted Case? John Ruth

Yes, possibly No - I don't have a "translucent white hard Arkansas
stone" No - but I think that'll be my next step

  I'll report what, if anything, Case says about it.
