Public library. They are right along a lovely path.<br /><br />The stones don’t appear to be sandstone and are a much harder metamorphic rock, I believe. One has been partially submerged for decades and they are extremely resistant. It’s is a fast flowing river.<br /><br />I’d expect they are metamorphic and local, but I am not sure, they are below a canyon of exceptionally hard rock that was xtensively mined, clear creek canyon, and I expect they were either an igneous intrusion or metamorphosed.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437041971294501233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580629844893014592.post-2245908867164434042017-04-04T23:15:59.263-06:002017-04-04T23:15:59.263-06:00Thanks for the introduction to sharpening stones! ...Thanks for the introduction to sharpening stones! I'm writing alternative history thrillers set in the 11th century...and have been trying to figure out sharpening stones. My characters (from the 21st century) took knowledge of iron (and medicine!) back in time. But I need to have them be able to sharpen their knives!Walt Sochahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302357828295485232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580629844893014592.post-33628995111348460362017-04-04T22:40:15.089-06:002017-04-04T22:40:15.089-06:00Hi, Mike, This is very helpful article.Knowing how...Hi, Mike, This is very helpful article.Knowing how to sharpen my tools like knife, scissors and axe is very important to me.I get many information about sharpening stone from this post.Thanks for this valuable information.Jeanhttps://bestreviewzon.com/best-sharpening-stonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1580629844893014592.post-82347289331897378052015-08-17T18:53:59.609-06:002015-08-17T18:53:59.609-06:00Thanks for the info.

I'm interested in what stone could be used in pre-colonial days for sharpening (even though there weren't metal edges back then).Walt Sochahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302357828295485232noreply@blogger.com
