When searching for ways to flatten a hard arkansas most people recommend using loose grit on a plate of float glas.
But will the loose grit not just grind the Glas out of flat just as fast as it...

Its a vintage Berg 3/4" and I dont think its bend.

Does this mean that you chop with the bevel towards the waste side ? Then I guess prying is of no concern to the back.
Im chopping with the back towards my self and the waste side, so if I pry its...

That is the question :D

It's from Norway or Sweden I'm sure. Just under 1 mm between the growth rings.

I suspect sharpening is at least one issue. At the moment im caught between 3 sharpening regimes. Yours with spydercos and hollow grind, David W´s with oilstones and Rob cosmans. Im mixing everything...

Is it safe to conclude that using an A2 iron in an low angle plane is foolish if the goal is to plane end grain with a low angle of attack ?

To be honest, I bought the LN62 from a local guy in good used condition. The blade were sharp and I did not check the angle.

Can any waterstone be used to create the slurry on a Kanban? From 240 grit to 8000?
