Thread: Did I find me an Escher?

I'll keep it safe for you until such time as you feel comfortable using it. No, don't thank me. It is just part of the job.

James.

I'ma bringing lots of blades. Some for me, some for anybody that might want to practice on. As long as they have somewhat steady hands, I dont mind. (grinding the scales on the stone might have a deleterious effect on my mental health)

A few spare pucks of soap, a spare brush, a spare mug, a spare bottle of wine, spare cookies.., no, wait, those are mine...

I like cookies...

Sounds like you are coming well supplied. Be prepared to stay into the night :-)

Can you post some photos of the stone, especially the back side and the sides, also the stone dimensions? I have two Eschers and both have rough grind marks on the back side, and measure 5 X 2.5 X 3/4 inches. One came from an antique store with the label and is blue, the other one is greenish yellow and came in a lot of eBay hones, without a label. Both are easy to raise a slurry on, which is a creamy blue gray to blue green color. Congratulations on your great find! It is a Thuringian at least, and likely an Escher IMO.

I feel cheated. I clicked on this thread to see a hone not a damned label

Where are the Pics????

HAD? Me? Not on your life!

I saw it here, today. I even got to hone on it too. I think it performed very well; certainly a nice hone. You should go to more meets...

Could you restore yourself? Hope you're strengthened and relaxed again!

My restoration process will require a professional, as I am unskilled at such tasks. Unfortunately, I dont see anybody advertising this service in the classifieds.

I will try to get those pictures up later today though.
