A new material to me, but it seems like it will cut well. Definitely slow through the saw.

Roughed out, it chipped a bit on the pointy end on the trim saw, but it mostly went away when I ground it to thickness. I only had to shorten it a tiny bit.

Finished the stone, aside from making blood red mud, nice and easy to work with. Diamond to 3000, then tin oxide on leather.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I'm really liking having a wheel grinder again rather than a flat lap, and the adjustment to diamond abrasives has been great. I love this new grinder, even if I still need to get the overspray under control.

Beautiful job on that piece. Congrats!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
