I will give you a little inf in general. First many of the stones have a flat spot or what looks like a big chip in the stone. This is very common in our area as we have freeze / melt weather in our area. Many had a little pan to put water in so it would wet down the object being ground, thus keeping it cool, and not taking any tempering out of the steel. When they are set out in back of the machine shed for retirment they are kept full of water by the weather man and year after year of freezing the stone crumbled in the spot setting in the water pan.

The second chunk of advise is it realy is not stone at all, rather a cement product. A friend once found the formula, for making the stone in a book, but can't find the book anymore. He has looked for the past several years, and now old age is setting in and he remembers even less. He thought it had lime, lard, silica sand, and clay dirt, and ashes in it.

If anyone has the formula I could be his best buddy.

There is a good picture of a grindstone in Wikipedia, the free online cyclopedia.
