[Regia-NA] Gotland Sandstone Axe Whetstones

[Ben Pyles]

Thanks for the insight- I was going to guess 400 grit would be about right 
At least for people in a backwater like Rhuddlan

bottom of the last pits with axe stones I can say I can sort
of see my reflection in the surface, which appears to have
about a 4-600 grit finish along the length of the blade.
This one just happens to be beside me. And while it lacks a
high polish probably looks pretty damned good for period
blade finishes.
