Any suggestions on how to flatten a hard Arkansas stone?
I have a black, hard Arkansas oil stone that's probably close to 100 years
old (handed down from grandpa). The surface isn't flat anymore and it has some chips and dings from many years of service. It doesn't seem to cut very well too, and I'm guessing the pores are filled with dirt and dross. I've read about techniques to clean the surface (such as a good long soak in an oil dissolving cleaner and baking in a stove) and I had been planning to go at the surface with a diamond grit flat stone of similar width. Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with rejuvenating an old timer like this? 'preciate your comments... Cheers.
