Can anyone reccomend a supplier for Arkansas stones? Halls, Norton(at TWW) and Dan's all seem to supply them. Is there a preference or a quality difference between them?

Having used stones from all of those suppliers, I think you would be just fine with stones from any of them. They all have performed well for me.

Look up Hall's Pro edge for quality stones in a variety of sizes.
““Perhaps then, you will say, ‘But where can one have a boat like that built today?’ And I will tell you that there are still some honest men who can sharpen a saw, plane, or adze...men (who) live and work in out of the way places, but that is lucky, for they can acquire materials for one third of city prices. Best, some of these gentlemen’s boatshops are in places where nothing but the occasional honk of a wild goose will distract them from their work.” -- L Francis Herreshoff

They had a 25% off on orders over $75 a few years back..
I think its only 10% now..

I have the Hall's and I like them very much. The prices seem to be better than the other suppliers as well. I have the 6" x 2" x 1" soft, hard, and black.
