When Shumway, a miner from his early years, asked if he was referring to uranium his grandfather said, No, rocks. Today, years later, Shumway thinks he knows what his grandfather meant as he and his partners tap a natural resource that is found only in one other state, Arkansas. They are manufac- turing whetstones. Shumway, who has been work- ing a stone quarry since 1970, stumbled across the idea of making whetstones after attending a Mountain Man convention in 1976, Needing something he could swap other conventioneers, he with took a large box full of the stones cut from his quarry which were sized to fit the hand. The small whetstones went like lightning and Shumway had jewelry, money, beads, and many other items in Shumway also learned the only other natural whetstone quarry in the United States is in Arkansas. Formed from Mesozoic sediment, the same type of whetstone was used by the Molds, Shumway says, to sharpen knives and tools. He says that artificial whetsones the blades of knives whereas natural stone will not. Recently Shumway met with the scratch Blanding Economic Development Board to explain his venture. There is local excitement over the prospect of an industry which will not require importation of any raw materials. Shumway says the business could be used to hire the handicapped and could provide jobs for many of the unemployed. The stones come in a variety of sizes and styles with single stones for quick sharpening to with a stones combination finishing stone bonded to them. Some of the stones are packaged for gift giving in specially con- return. In the fall of 1982 Shumway interested his brother and some local people in exploring the idea of making whetstones with the natural stone from the quarry in Blanding. Research and hours of experimentation revealed that the Moki stone, named after the ancient Indian civilizations that once lived in southeastern Utah, could whet blades faster than any other stone available. 13. a local carpenter, Gary Martineau.)
