This stone has lived it's life In a small workshop by the sea. Today it was carried out for the first time in 150 years. Felt a bit awed. Bet it has seen and heard a lot.
Our plan is to restore and use it to sharpen tools. I remember the sound and trying one as a child. Love being "unplugged" where we can. Slower and less cost-efficient perhaps, but more present and mindful.
Slipesteinen har levd sitt liv i et lite verksted ved sjøen. Idag ble den båret ut for første gang på 150 år! Den har nok sett og hørt mye.
Den er ikke til pynt, men skal restaureres og brukes til sliping. Enda et ledd i vår drøm om å leve litt mer "unplugged" der hvor det er mulig.

En mycket vacker sten! Alla borde få möjlighet någon gång i livet att dra ner på tempot och vara mer närvarande i nuet.

Such a great piece. How fun. xo Laura
SvarSlettThis is a wonderful old working tool, it and the people who made it deserve respect. Nothing was made disposable. With your family this could continue a useful life for another 150 years. I'm glad it found a home with someone who values its' history.
SvarSlettThat is a beauty! We are trying to spend more time unplugged, too...especially in the summer...
SvarSlettHei Pam,
SvarSlettFor et flott stykke! Det må føles fantastisk å bruke den.
Stor klem,

Really cool! Thanks for sharing, Pam! xo Jennifer
SvarSlettSå bra at dere skal bruke den! Her har vi også en slipstein stående ved skjåen, men det er nok sjelden den er i bruk.
