Since my usual supplier of Water of Ayr (AKA Tam O'Shanter hone) stone has dried up, I'm now starting to look a wee bit depleted in that area. Does anyone know of a stockist? I've a few bits of slate I've been testing instead, but haven't managed to find any recently that are quite as soft.

Failing that, any members in Ayrshire want to snaffle a rock for me? :D

I think HS Walsh may stock it. I have no idea what it's for but rember noticing it, because I thought, what the flipping heck is that?!?! :D

Cheers George - I'd need to cut that one down, it's practically a bench stone!

You could also try some of the enamel companies on the Enamellers Guild (http://www.guildofenamellers.org/index.php?option=com_weblinks&view=category&id=3%3Alink-suppliers&Itemid=6) website

Good price, lead time in months :(

Thanks Nic - I shall pick through.

I could be back to asking for assistance from Ayrshire - although I've just remembered an old friend of mine lives not that many miles away... Hmm :D

Can you point me to it in their catalogue? Not finding it with searches (and just put an order in to them as well!!!). TIA!

That was the first place I thought of Peter, but they're not showing as available (I ordered yesterday too!)

You could give them a call - 020 8778 7061, or 020 7242 3711 for the Hatton Garden showroom.
