Description

This stone is notable for two reasons. First are its lovely hand sawn sides which date this stone to the 1930s or earlier. The second is its ENORMOUS size!! This stone leaves very nicely balanced edges for the kitchen and is an ample pre-polisher. It is easy to use and leaves a pleasant, if unexciting finish. There is a subtle karasu pattern. The stone is sealed. I do not know for certain which strata the stone comes from.
