I use a small hammer stone to deal with thick areas most of the time.

I was going to keep my abo vs copper comments "zipped" but I must say one thing:  copper doesn't wear down as fast.  That is, less maintenance.  MUCH less.  That's why I use it.  I don't think that property of copper (or metals) gets stressed enough.

I completely agree that natural materials produce excellent results.

I think if I were working with Texas chert I would agree.
