Hi all,
What kind of oilstones do you use for finishing a chisel or plane when you need a fine cut? Do you still strop afterwards or are they so fine that they don't need it?
I've read lots on Arkansas stones but can't determine how necessary they are even though many people rave about them. Currently I strop off of a fine India stone which feels very sharp, but can I get sharper with these fine natural stones?
Many thanks
