I know that we had some discussion not too long ago about cleaning oil
stones.  I've looked at the archives and it seemed to me that the prevaling
wisdom was to put the stones in the dishwasher (when SWMBO is not home
prefereably) and give them a good bath.  That sounds like an appealing

bad.  I

n addition, we had some discussion about flattening these stones and it
seemed to me that the most efficient method was to use the good ole'
driveway or I think someone mentioned concrete pavers.  It sounded like the
sandpaper idea was not as effective if memory serves.  Is there anything
new to add that I am missing.

Thanks,

Doc
