Purely personal preference. Surprised you're not advocating storage under abrasive sheets rather than any sort of sharpening stone though... :wink: But to clarify, I was referring in old rust hunting terms to the scarcity of quality cheap (i.e. secondhand) bullnose planes on the open market.matthewwh":2ikrpq6t said:Can it be any old rock that we store our shoulder planes under or would a natural sharpening stone be better?

Am definitely curious about Matthew's cheap Chinese jobbies, I own one decent plane and will never be able to justify the cost of a whole suite.
