>>180060Round artificial ax stones (Figure 69) are sometimes called pocket stones. I know of two types. The traditional
type has both a coarse and a fine side and is about ½ inch thick. This traditional ax stone can be dangerous
to use, because your fingertips are always in jeopardy. Another type of ax stone has a finger groove in the
center to keep your fingertips out of jeopardy. Both of these round ax stones are of Carborundum and require
oil (Figure 70) to float the metal particles off of the stone.
