   You only really need two, a round one for the gouges and a triangular one with a sharp angle for the v-tools.

   I use ceramic slips, mine were made or at least sold by a company called Spyderco and are fairly old. Do a search for slip stones and I'm sure you'll find plenty of sources. Also, woodcarverssupply.com sells slips.

   Hi jazzdog,

    You could try The Japan Woodworker! I've got a nice selection of water stones from them. I think they've also got slip stones.

   Another source worth checking is http://www.thebestthings.com. I know they have Norton stones which are quite good. Don't remember what others they carry but thier prices are about the best I have seen.
