Coticule love... show off your rock

[Eshebert]

Thanks. No, I bought it many years ago from the vault of coticule.be. It’s from La Dressante layer.

Nice stone.

@Matt O Man that's a nice one, love the ones that shade, I bet that booger is fast as hell. Mine that look like that are top notch. I just acquired one close to that size, but I bet you knew that already. I have not put my hands on it yet, I hope my the seller was reliable .

Thanks! I have one similar in size and coloring…perhaps a fraternal twin…and I really really like it!

You boys are on a roll, nice stones.

When y'all run out of cabinet space, send up a flare...

Bahahahahah! YES!

I have stuff on top of the cabinet and it’s invading the dining room table! My wife is not happy!

I have been pining for one of these for a long time, and finally got one! And I also got this little junker because I was tired of looking at it. Thinking about cutting the little one down since there is so little left it will never be flat otherwise, then I can have a slurry stone plus a small pocket stone. But then I would limit the bbw side. Or I can use it as is til it wears out.

Your edge can only be as good as the worst spot on your final stone’s surface.

Nice looking set! Lots to like, good intro to the sport.

Bought this in a private sale from Belgium. Was told it came from a wood workers shop. A nice 8x2x1

Nice. Good sized la vertes are almost unobtanium these days.

I’ve been really happy with mine. The second nicest coticule edge I’ve had the pleasure of making.

Finally gave in and flattened the antique coti. I got a patch about 5x1.5 sorted out, a small but proven format. I figure it’s enough to start and I can go further if necessary. I can’t bear to just go crazy and flatten it completely given how domed it is. First time I’ve ever SAVED the mud from a stone. Gosh it feels nice though.

An absolutely stunning stone.

Made only somewhat less attractive by the childlike pencil scribbles.
