Why did Alex Gilmour stop selling natural stones?

Would appreciate it if anyone who knew/knows him could share information on this.

Thanks!

Edit: Link to his website for those unfamiliar with him and his work.

I think he's writing a book and so not really selling actively online any more, though I believe he does still sell things if you can go see him and try out in person. Don't quote me on that though.

He's (semi) active over on B&B, so you can ping him a message there if you want to get in touch.

Are you talking about the old hoard stones? Those would be cool to get a hold of.

I think I remember where you could return the stones bought from him if you wanted, and there was some abuse of that policy. However, as mentioned if you see him in person to try out the stone then you can buy as this solves the issue almost entirely.

I think the above (which was taken from the main page of his site) makes it pretty clear, excerpt :

"I would rather work hands-on, side by side with a few fellows on sharpening technique with matched stones in mind to suit their needs then to just deal the stones out as fast as I can list them on this site."

Fully intend on purchasing his book when it is done.
