Im new to carving carving and would like to know when my honeing leather is all caked up with the good stuff if i throw it out or clean it. I have quite a build up of gunk and just keep adding more & more. It dont seem to work as well as it did when it was new. Can someone please help????????

Re: hone board
Muffy, if you feel like your hone is too gunked up, it probably is so just scrape all the gunk off with a really dull knife -- even a kitchen butter knife or the back side of a carving knife.
Scrape all the gunk off down to the leather and you're ready to start all over again. I have leather hones I've been using for 14 years ... I don't plan to ever throw one away.
