Excellent video, Brian, and thanks for posting it. Didn't see the sharpening but the box making was amazing and makes one appreciate the craft of the Natives. Professional in their own way.

Who? Me? All the river stones I have are the size of the palm of my hand or bigger, the size of my whole hand.
I've got some slip (little) water stones from Lee Valley. I wish I could recall where I put them in a "safe-place-that-I-will-always-remember."
All my carving wood comes out of the local mountain forests. The sharpening stones come out of the local rivers. Mother Nature has been good to me.

I generally prefer stones over sand paper, but do use sand paper when I have shapes that I don't have slips for. It all works.
