Greetings,
I thanked the Fedex driver and turned eagerly to open the package. Lifted
off the lid of my new Ice Bear 10000 grit waterstone and gazed at TWO
waterstones. One large and pentagonal, one small and triangular. Bummer.
Fedex musta wanted to see if they could make a crater like NASA's.
Called the 800 number for Tools for Working Wood. A replacement stone is
on its way.
So, kudos to another vendor who does it right. (Well, maybe they could
use larger boxes and more popcorn...) Best of all, TfWW has some items
that LV doesn't. I don't have to decide which of two good stores I
should buy from. (Ye$, I realize the downside to that situation.) Fun
website, too.

Repeat after me: "It's going to be an heirloom."

Yah. Bent my crowbar. But the previous page in the hardcopy catalog lists
Shapton stones. The Ice Bear doesn't look so bad in comparison...
While you're looking at Museum of/Tools for, check out the "Horse Butt
strop."
