Don, I have flattened my washita, hard ark, and translucent white on diamond
stones and while it took quite a bit of elbow grease it was much quicker than
other methods I tried.  I found I needed to clear the swarf regularly with a
stiff brush or rinse the diamond plate under water when it started to load up.
I used my diamond plates dry when flattening the stones. I started with a coarse
diamond stone to get it flat then a couple of passes on a fine to smooth the
surface.

YMMV
