Hi Guys and Gals
I have been sorting through my workshop today (well guiding elves to that task)...with a view to having a cleaner, tidier shop for when I am capable of standing for more than 10 minutes again....and I came across this little stone in the dusty hollows....
Now it's highly likely this came from somewhere in Europe as it was my grandad's who I never met. He was in a camp in Belgium in WWII and died a few weeks after liberation...digging his beloved garden.
Years ago, Mum gave me a load of his tools and I think this was amongst them.
Of course, the connection with Belgium may be purely coincidental....or not...but I am sure this is quite a distinctive lump that someone out there may recognise (once they get that illusive book back?? :mrgreen: )
I will say...it is very fast and fine in honing from the brief test I did today!
Cheers me dears
