    Default Vintage Norton? & Arkansas Oil Stones

    A selection of Vintage Oil Stones. These were the first stones I bought many years ago from a retired woodworking teachers estate auction in Brisbane. They've still got a few generations of use left in them but I never use them anymore. No use collecting dust here. They are all housed in vintage Silky Oak or Maple protective boxes as was the style in that era. The black silky oak one at the top is a rough oil stone for flattening backs or removing damage to your edge tools, the leftmost stone is a mid range stone (very likely a Norton I believe) and the natural coloured Silky Oak one on the right feels to me like a smooth Black Arkansas. Asking $70 the lot. Pickup from Ascot.

    Any interest in these. If so make a reasonable offer.

    These are off to Gumtree. PM me if any interest. These would come in handy for levelling the set on handsaws prior to sharpening I should think. I'm no saw sharpener though so happy to be told otherwise.
