I'm going to make a comment here that is not exactly in line with the
question asked. You have to look at wheels and even gouges as consummables;
both will wear awa;y if you are using them. If you avoid shaping and
sharpening because you don't want to wear them out you are missing the point
and maybe the fun.

I am considering white Norton wheels from Lee Valley or Blue slowspeed
wheels from Oneway. Which stones are preferable for woodturning chisels
and why are they preferable?
