Arkansas or Japanese water stone?

Norton 8"x3"x1" combination waterstones, 220/1000 & 4000/8000 grits
they are harder and last long, ideal size.

Home Despot or Blowe's?

Lowe's, more attention to machines from what I've read, only an HD in
my town with a very limited selection and poor on the wood hand tools.
Vital stuff.

Shaken or stirred?

Shaken, of course! Not stirred! 007 and all...

Regular or decaf?

1/3 regular, 2/3 decaf please... 1/2&1/2, 1 blue and one pink and 1/2 of
each if it's a small mug.

daltec

Huh?

ps for me, my path is clear:
push stroke, water stones, Blowe's, stirred, and regular.

It's your freedom... what whas "the stroke" referred from?

Whew I feel better already.

congrats!

pps lest this be TOTALLY off topic, how DO you pronounce "padauk?"

pad-oak, or if spelled paduak... pad-oooo-(w)Ak

thanx!

Ya-welcome. And get back.
