274431 Dan Beck <drumsandbacon@g...> 2021‑08‑28 Waterstone advice
I’m hoping for some quick advice about waterstones. A while back, I purchased a
combination 1000/8000 Ohishi waterstone from Lie-Nielsen. I’m happy with it, but
I’m thinking of getting another stone with a grit somewhere in the middle. I’d
like to stick with Ohishi and therefore the options are 3000 or 6000 grit. Which
one would be better? Do I even need one in between the 1000/8000? Am I totally
overthinking this?

BTW - this would be for plane irons and chisels. 

Thanks!
