[Woodcarver] Sharpening Stones

[WorkingInWood]

Hi Jared,
I suggest the video on sharpening carving tools by Evert Ellenwood.  Excellent instructional material and he might answer your questions.  See: http://www.ellenwoodarts.com/main.htm .  As a veteran of the sharpening game I would bite the bullet and jump right to diamond stones if I had to do it again.  My Arkansas stones now are all idle,  my water stones are used strickly for plane blades, but I do occasionally use my ceramics for chip carving knives.  Hope this helps.
